Return to the marvelous new world. Huxley O.

The book of Oldos Haxli “Return to the Divine New World” was first published back in 1958, and all the more interesting it is: after all, in this work the great English writer and philosopher, in his controversial manner, spent parallels between the Western The civilization of the bourgeois “Golden Age” of the 1950s and the anti-utopian totalitarian “consumer paradise” described in its most famous work of art-the novel “On the Widest New World”. Again and again, Haxli compared the world of a distant future fictional many years ago with the very real world, surrounding it at the time of writing “return” - and again and again found signs of a frightening, dangerous and more and more obvious similarity... where he was right, but in What was mistaken?
