Sobre este artículo
London: Chatto & Windus, 1932. First Edition. Very Good. First edition, first printing. Bound in publisher's blue cloth with spine lettered in gilt; lacking the dust jacket. Very Good. Moderate lean to binding. Spine toned, with light reading creases. Light wear to cloth at corners and spine ends. Former owner name to front paste down, small number to front free endpaper and light soiling to rear endpaper. Pages toned. The first publication of the classic dystopian novel that posited a nearly omnipotent totalitarian state essentially built from the ground up, rather than the top-down dictatorship of 1984.
Sinopsis
Brave New World is a novel by Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Set in the London of AD 2540 (632 A.F. in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology and sleep-learning that combine to change society. The future society is an embodiment of the ideals that form the basis of futurism. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, Brave New World Revisited (1958), and with his final work, a novel titled Island (1962), both summarized below. In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World fifth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
