Aldous Huxley

Oldos Khaksli vyros v seme, prinadlezhavshej k britanskoj kulturnoj elite. On obladal porazitelnoj eruditsiej, svobodno govoril na frantsuzskom i nemetskom, byl znakom s filosofami i izvestnymi pisateljami togo vremeni. Ego roman polon skrytykh tsitat, alljuzij, otsylok, nasmeshek nad realnymi ljudmi, pisateljami, politikami i biznesmenami, filosofskimi techenijami i mechtami o spravedlivom obschestve. Vse eti nasmeshki zashifrovany v tekste, i obnaruzhit ikh bez podskazok - neprostaja zadacha. Bolshinstvo ne zametit ikh, a znachit, poterjaet polovinu udovolstvija ot chtenija romana. Eta kniga daet chitatelju kljuch k rasshifrovke "Divnogo novogo mira". Prakticheski vse imena i familii v romane - "govorjaschie", a ikh sochetanie - originalnyj satiricheskij priem avtora. Ne sluchajno vybrany i geograficheskie nazvanija, a tsitat iz Shekspira v tekste - bolee soroka. I ne tolko tsitaty - v romane fakticheski zashifrovana vsja pesa Shekspira "Burja". Ne k odnomu Shekspiru obraschaetsja Khaksli. Tomas Eliot, Tomas Grej, Devid Lourens i Bertran Rassel - vot nepolnyj spisok avtorov, imena kotorykh upominajutsja v kommentarijakh. A esche Khaksli ispolzuet otkrytija uchenykh i ikh prognozy dlja sozdanija sinteticheskoj kartiny buduschego, kotoraja kazhetsja pugajusche ubeditelnoj. V nachale XX veka, kogda vse prikhodili v vostorg ot grjaduschikh darov tekhnicheskogo progressa, Oldos Khaksli uvidel devushek-sborschits, rabotajuschikh na konvejere, i uzhasnulsja. I predlozhil svoim chitateljam ogljanutsja vokrug i zadat sebe vopros: kak mnogo oni gotovy otdat za somnitelnye dary tekhnicheskogo progressa. A esche prigljadetsja vnimatelnee i uvidet steny nevidimoj tjurmy, kotorye oni ranshe ne zamechali. "Ved nichto ne daetsja darom", - utverzhdal Oldos Khaksli.

A beautiful hardback edition of Huxley's inconic dystopian classic, introduced by Yuval Noah Harari'A masterpiece of speculation...

Ljubovnyj treugolnik... Kazhetsja, dovolno banalnaja istorija. No eto ne tot sluchaj. Sjuzhet romana dejstvitelno dovolno prost: u znamenitogo uchenogo est bozhestvennoj krasoty zhena. I molodoj talantlivyj uchenik. Konechno zhe, mezhdu uchenikom i "boginej" vspykhivaet strast. Ni k chemu khoroshemu eto privesti ne mozhet. Chego zhe esche zhdat ot ljubovnogo treugolnika? No Oldos Khaksli sumel napolnit etu istoriju glubinoj, zatronut vazhnejshie voprosy o roke i lichnom vybore, o protivostojanii emotsij razumnomu nachalu, o dolge, chesti i ljubvi.

"O divnyj novyj mir" - izyskannaja i ostroumnaja antiutopija o geneticheski programmiruemom "obschestve potreblenija", v kotorom razvorachivaetsja tragicheskaja istorija Dikarja - "Gamleta" etogo mira. Idei kultovogo "O divnogo novogo mira" nashli prodolzhenie v poslednem, samom zagadochnom i misticheskom romane Oldosa Khaksli "Ostrov". Udivitelnaja i strannaja istorija sovershennogo obschestva svobodnykh ljudej na zaterjannom v okeane ostrove... No odnazhdy v etot mir schastlivogo nevedenija popadaet chelovek izvne... V sotsialno-filosofskom traktate "Vozvraschenie v divnyj novyj mir" anglijskij pisatel Oldos Khaksli analiziruet realii kontsa 50-kh godov XX veka, vyiskivaet v nikh sootvetstvija markeram chelovechestva buduschego - obschestva potreblenija iz svoej kultovoj antiutopii "O divnyj novyj mir" i legendarnogo romana "1984" britanskogo avtora Dzhordzha Oruella. Nekotorye prognozy utochnjajutsja literatorom, nekotorye - otvergajutsja kak nedostatochno pugajuschie.

Kniga Oldosa Khaksli "Vozvraschenie v divnyj novyj mir" byla vpervye opublikovana v dalekom 1958 godu, - i tem interesnee chitaetsja ona v nashi dni: ved v etoj rabote velikij anglijskij pisatel i filosof, v svoej polemichnoj manere, provel paralleli mezhdu zapadnoj tsivilizatsiej burzhuaznogo "zolotogo veka" 1950-kh i antiutopicheskim totalitarnym "potrebitelskim raem", opisannym v ego samom izvestnom khudozhestvennom proizvedenii - romane "O divnyj novyj mir". Snova i snova Khaksli sravnival vymyshlennyj im mnogo let nazad mir dalekogo buduschego s mirom vpolne realnym, okruzhavshim ego na moment napisanija "Vozvraschenija" - i snova i snova nakhodil primety pugajuschego, opasnogo i vse bolee javnogo skhodstva... Gde zhe on byl prav, a v chem oshibalsja? Kakie iz ego predskazanij ne sbylis, a kakie, uvy, sbylis s pechalnoj tochnostju? Otvety na eti voprosy, kak ni stranno, daleko ne tak uzh i ochevidny...

Immerse yourself in the turbulent world of ""The Sound and the Fury,"" a masterpiece by Nobel laureate William Faulkner. This groundbreaking novel, first published in 1929, offers a profound exploration of the human condition through the tragic decline of the once-noble Compson family in the American South. Faulkner's innovative narrative technique, which includes a stream-of-consciousness style, plunges readers into the complex inner lives of his characters, revealing their struggles, desires, and flaws with intimate detail. Set in Mississippi, the story unfolds through four distinct perspectives, each chapter offering a unique voice, from the sensitive and mentally challenged Benjy to the intense and introspective Quentin, the pragmatic but cynical Jason, and finally through the eyes of the family's black servant, Dilsey. This quartet of narratives weaves a rich tapestry of themes such as time, memory, and the unrelenting grip of the past. ""The Sound and the Fury"" is not just a story; it's an experience, a linguistic journey that challenges and rewards its readers with its complexity and depth. Faulkner's skillful use of non-linear storytelling and his profound insights into the human psyche make this novel a cornerstone of American literature. Step into the world of the Compsons and experience a tale that resonates with the timeless questions of identity, loss, and the inexorable decay of time.

Tvorchestvo Oldosa Khaksli znachitelno shire zhanra antiutopii, v kotorom napisan ego opus magnum. "Vechnaja filosofija" - blestjaschee issledovanie sistemnykh osobennostej i osnov vsekh mirovykh religij, pomogajuschikh chelovechestvu interpretirovat obschee ponimanie boga i vechnosti. V osnove etoj knigi - kanonicheskie teksty, shedevry filosofskoj mysli i mirovoj literatury, kotorye avtor soprovozhdaet svoimi kommentarijami i pojasnenijami, a voprosami issledovanija na ee stranitsakh stanovjatsja voprosy very i istiny, samopoznanija i stradanija, simvolov i ritualov. Perevodchik: Zhelninov V.

"Ostrov" (1962) - poslednee, samoe zagadochnoe i misticheskoe tvorenie Oldosa Khaksli, v kotorom nashli prodolzhenie idei kultovogo romana "O divnyj novyj mir". Zadumannoe avtorom kak antiutopija, eto proizvedenie okazalos gorazdo masshtabnee uzkikh ramok utopicheskogo zhanra. Etot podlinno velikij filosofskij roman - otrazhenie sovremennogo obschestva." Obezjana i suschnost" (1948) - fantasticheskaja antiutopija, svoeobraznoe preduprezhdenie pisatelja o grjaduschej jadernoj katastrofe, kotoraja sotret pochti vse s litsa zemli, a na oblomkakh byloj tsivilizatsii vyzhivshie budut pytatsja postroit novoe obschestvo." Genij i boginja" (1955) - na pervyj vzgljad dovolno banalnaja istorija o ljubovnom treugolnike. No avtor sumel napolnit etu istoriju glubinoj, zatronut vazhnejshie voprosy o roke i lichnom vybore, o protivostojanii emotsij razumnomu nachalu, o dolge, chesti i ljubvi.
