Shutovskaya round dance. These fallen leaves. Huxley O.

“Shutovo round dance” (1923) is a novel in which Oldos Haxly again turns to the topic of “lost generation”, but does this not as a poet, his singing, but as a satirist, denouncing his spiritual impotence and creative powerlessness, his Egoistic fixation on oneself and elementary inappropriation to everyday life. The artists who have learned to create, philosophers who have learned to think, women who have lost the meaning of life, and men living in pursuit of adrenaline - Haxly knows their characters well, and this knowledge makes him especially merciless.

“These fallen ones are fallen Leaves ”(1925) - a work that stylistically continuing the cycle of books of this outstanding writer about the“ lost generation ”of British intellectuals. The story of a rich widow-aircraft who is trying to revive the tradition of the legendary artistic salons of the Renaissance on the Italian villa, whose visitors are obviously not able to claim new Boccaccio and new Da Vinci. And Huxley would not be himself if this frivolous, in general, the plot did not turn under his pen into a brilliant work of art - a smart and thin work, in which a stinging satire is combined with a deep philosophy.
