Summary
A fantasy of the future that sheds a
blazing critical light on the present--considered to be Aldous
Huxley's most enduring masterpiece. "Mr. Huxley is eloquent in
his declaration of an artist's faith in man, and it is his
eloquence, bitter in attack, noble in defense, that, when one
has closed the book, one remembers."--Saturday Review of
Literature "A Fantastic racy narrative, full of much excellent
satire and literary horseplay."--Forum "It is as sparkling,
provocative, as brilliant, in the appropriate sense, as
impressive ads the day it was published. This is in part
because its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly
contemporary, both in its particular forecasts and in its
general tone of semiserious alarm. But it is much more because
the book succeeds as a work of art...This is surely Huxley's
best book."--Martin Green
