Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.

曾经有幸参加过一次读书会,主题乔治奥威尔,不外乎是谈《动物庄园》与《1984》。当时在场的更多人是更喜欢《动物庄园》,而我对那本书却没什么很深刻的感觉,只很喜欢《1984》。当然《1984》也是有不少讨论的,一片引申,而我却只在旁听与发呆,基本没有发言。只是现在回想起...

看完这本书我是无比的悲哀。之所以悲哀是因为我认同这个可怕的乌托帮,我也无比坚定的相信我们的世界正在向那个方向发展。身在世界上最先进最富有的国家,这种感受尤为强烈。电视节目的完全娱乐化,每一个人群都有麻醉自己的节目;所有的声音都告诉你,你应该满足于现在这样的...

这版让人特别抓狂就是为了减少人名的讽刺性把很对一看就是有所指的人名变成了音译,以让人减少联想。没看过其他版本的翻译,借助百科,还原人名指代和暗含之意。 柏纳德·马克斯,Bernard Marx,这个名字是George Bernard Shaw(乔治·萧伯纳和Karl Marx(卡尔·马克思)。萧...

一直没有看到过这本书的中文版,也许是托了去年那本《娱乐至死》的福,重庆出版社在新近推出的一套名为经典重现的丛书中,收录了这本书的中译本。这套丛书还收录了一些在西方读者心目中地位甚高,但编者认为被中国读者忽略的文学作品,比如已出的《秘密花园》和《华氏451》,...

根本主题应该是超验的“自由意志”到底存不存在。在自由的前提下去看是一种洗脑,但如果意识不是超验的,这个新世界就没什么毛病。在做出价值判断的瞬间我们已经被我们所接受的自由之人性、天然之意识的概念洗脑了不是吗?

太牛了,community identity stability。 最后群众的"we want the whip",令人脊背发凉。
