Aldous Huxley

Un mundo feliz es un cl sico de la literatura del siglo XX, una sombr a met fora de un futuro posible. Con iron a mordiente, el genial autor ingl s plasma una sombr a met fora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los ltimos a os. La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje...

"Shutovskoj khorovod" (1923) - roman, v kotorom Oldos Khaksli vnov obraschaetsja k teme "poterjannogo pokolenija", no delaet eto uzhe ne kak poet, ego vospevajuschij, a kak satirik, oblichajuschij ego dushevnuju impotentsiju i tvorcheskoe bessilie, ego egoisticheskuju zatsiklennost na sebe i elementarnuju neprisposoblennost k povsednevnoj zhizni. Khudozhniki, razuchivshiesja tvorit, filosofy, razuchivshiesja myslit, zhenschiny, utrativshie smysl zhizni, i muzhchiny, zhivuschie v pogone za adrenalinom, - Khaksli khorosho znaet svoikh personazhej, i eto znanie delaet ego osobenno besposchadnym." Eti opavshie listja" (1925) - proizvedenie, stilisticheski prodolzhajuschee tsikl knig etogo vydajuschegosja pisatelja o "poterjannom pokolenii" britanskikh intellektualov. Istorija bogatoj vdovy-metsenatki, pytajuschejsja vozrodit na italjanskoj ville traditsiju legendarnykh artisticheskikh salonov epokhi Vozrozhdenija, chi posetiteli ochevidno ne sposobny pretendovat na novykh Bokkachcho i novykh da Vinchi.

Kholodno, talantlivo i bezzhalostno izlozhennaja istorija intellektuala v Anglii 30-kh godov proshlogo veka - tragedija neponimanija, neljubvi, neosoznannosti dushevnykh poryvov i dukhovnykh prozrenij...

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.
