Full of barbed wit and malice-spiked frankness. Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling" (Observer)"Such ingenious wit, derisive logic and swiftness of expression, Huxley's resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed" (The Times)"A fantastical look at the world in the future which made me look differently at the present" (Katie Melua Observer)"Lucid and well-reasoned...one is captivated by Huxley's knowledge and his even more extraordinary intelligence" (Sunday Times)Présentation de l'éditeurIn his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control.
