Tentang eBook ini
Sătul de cariera de pedagog de școală, unde are senzația că își îndobitocește elevii cu fraze sforăitoare, și entuziasmat de proiectul pantalonilor săi pneumatici, tânărul Theodore Gumbril pleacă să-și caute norocul în capitală. Dar Londra postbelică pare să fi devenit o lume lipsită de valori, cuprinsă de o adevărată febră a hedonismului și populată de personaje grotești – pictori ratați, poetaștri înflăcărați, critici pompoși, savanți mediocri și muze năzuroase.
Tentang pengarang
Aldous Huxley was born on July 26, 1894, in Surrey, England, into a distinguished scientific and literary family; his grandfather was the noted scientist and writer, T.H. Huxley. Following an eye illness at age 16 that resulted in near-blindness, Huxley abandoned hope of a career in medicine and turned instead to literature, attending Oxford University and graduating with honors. While at Oxford, he published two volumes of poetry. Crome Yellow, his first novel, was published in 1927 followed by Antic Hay, Those Barren Leaves, and Point Counter Point. His most famous novel, Brave New World, published in 1932, is a science fiction classic about a futuristic society controlled by technology. In all, Huxley produced 47 works during his long career, In 1947, Huxley moved with his family to southern California. During the 1950s, he experimented with mescaline and LSD. Doors of Perception and Heaven and Hell, both works of nonfiction, were based on his experiences while taking mescaline under supervision.
