    "Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley, is a satirical journey into a dystopian future where happiness comes in a pill, babies are grown in bottles, and the World State's motto is "Community, Identity, Stability." In this world, people don't read books; they get feelies, sort of like movies that you can touch and smell. The citizens are engineered for their roles, from the intellectually superior Alphas to the not-so-bright Epsilons. Enter our hero, Bernard Marx, who's a bit too short for an Alpha and has a serious case of 'not fitting in.' When he brings back a 'savage' from a reservation, things get a bit awkward, especially at parties. Huxley's masterpiece is a wry, clever poke at the idea of a 'perfect society,' where everyone is blissfully ignorant, and the biggest dilemma is whether to take your soma before or after dinner. Get ready for a wild ride through a world that's as hilariously absurd as it is frighteningly possible.

  • von Gregorio Leti
    23,00 €

    È un libro destinato a pungere la "curiosità" dello svogliato pubblico contemporaneo, come dice l'autore nella premessa, sfruttando uno scandaloso caso di cronaca mondana. Gregorio Leti (1630-1701), libertino, apostata del cattolicesimo, transfuga nella calvinista Ginevra, scrittore perennemente all'indice dei libri proibiti, ad appena un anno dalla morte del protagonista, pubblica la vicenda di un amore singolare, sfrontato e peccaminoso, che ha dato materia ai pettegolezzi di tutta Italia (e non solo). Fingendosi un testimone oculare e attingendo sicuramente a fonti attendibili, Leti rispetta i più importanti dati storici, ma non esita a inventare caratteri, situazioni, eventi, colloqui, corrispondenze, fino a trasformare la sua narrazione in un'"opera mista di storia e d'invenzione" ovvero in un autentico "romanzo storico".
