Download or read book Aldous Huxley written by Milton Birnbaum and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the moral vacuum and world of shifting values following World War I, Aldous Huxley was both a sensitive refl ector and an articulate catalyst. This work provides a highly illuminating analysis of Huxley's evolution from skeptic to mystic. As Milton Birnbaum shows, in a perceptive interpretation of Huxley's poetry, fi ction, essays and biographies-what evolved in Huxley's moral and intellectual pilgrimage was not so much a change in direction as a shift in emphasis. Even in the sardonic Huxley of the 1920s and 1930s, there is a moral concern. In the later Huxley, there are traces of the satirical skepticism which delighted his readers in the decades preceding World War II. A man of letters, a keen observer, seeker of new ways while profoundly knowledgeable in the truths of ancient wisdom, Huxley tried to achieve a symbiotic synthesis of the best of all worlds. In clarifying and interpreting Huxley's intellectual, moral, and philosophical development, Birnbaum touches upon all the subjects that came under the scrutiny of a singularly encyclopedic mind. This book is of great worth to those interested both in Huxley the brilliant satirist and in Huxley the seeker of salvation. In his search, Huxley typifi ed the modern quest for values. Milton Birnbaum's study is an invaluable guide in that journey. His new introduction takes account of research and analysis of Huxley that has occurred since this book's original publication.

Download or read book Aldous Huxley written by Nicholas Murray and published by Macmillan. This book was released on 2003-03-24 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Aldous Huxley died on November 22, 1963, on the same day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated, he was widely considered to be one of the most intelligent and wide-ranging English writers of the twentieth century. Associated in the public mind with his dystopian satire, Brave New World, and experimentation with drugs that preceded the psychedelic, a term he invented, era of the 1960s, Huxley seemed to embody the condition of twentieth-century man in his restless curiosity, his search for meaning in a post-religious age, and his concern about the misuses of science and the future of the planet. But Huxley was born when Queen Victoria was on the British throne. He was the grandson of the great Victorian scientist Thomas Henry Huxley "Darwin's bulldog," and the great-nephew of the great poet and critic Matthew Arnold. Exiled in the Californian sun, he never ceased to think of himself as part of a tradition that could be traced back to the Victorian public intellectuals. This biography of Huxley---the first in thirty years---draws on a substantial amount of unpublished material, as well as numerous interviews with his family and friends. It is a portrait of a daring and iconoclastic novelist; a man hampered by semi-blindness, who spent a restless life in search of personal enlightenment. Nicholas Murray charts Huxley's Bloomsbury years, his surprising and complex relationship with D. H. Lawrence, and his emigration to America in the late 1930s, where he pursued a career as a screenwriter while continuing his fascination with mysticism and religion. Huxley's private life was also unconventional, and this book reveals for the first time the extraordinary story of the ménage à trois including Huxley, his remarkable wife, Maria, and the Bloomsbury socialite and mistress of Clive Bell, Mary Hutchinson. Huxley emerges from this new biography as one of the most intriguing and complex figures of twentieth-century English writing---novelist, poet, biographer, philosopher, social and political thinker. In an era of intense specialization he remained a free-ranging thinker, unconfined by conventional categories, concerned to communicate his insights in ordinary language---a very English intellectual.

Book Synopsis Aldous Huxley and Utopia by : Jerome Meckier
Download or read book Aldous Huxley and Utopia written by Jerome Meckier and published by LIT Verlag Münster. This book was released on with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the cycle that runs from Erewhon to Island, British literary utopias compete with one another to form the most persuasive picture of what the future might, or should, be like. At issue for Butler, Wells, Zamiatin, Orwell and others is whether utopia, be it positive or negative, is essentially prediction or hypothesis. Huxley contributed to this debate at roughly fifteen-year intervals, his three utopias becoming its key texts. In addition, Aldous Huxley and Utopia examines ironic cure scenes, the obsession with golf in the brave new world, attitudes towards death in Brave New World and Island, problems with names and history in the former, the role of islands in both, the detrimental impact of Madame Blavatsky and young Krishnamurti on the story of Pala, and the significance of a zoological conclusion of Island.

Book Synopsis Das Genie und die Göttin by : Aldous Huxley
Download or read book Das Genie und die Göttin written by Aldous Huxley and published by Piper Edition. This book was released on 2017-12-01 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Einer der letzten Romane von Aldous Huxley - ein Meisterwerk voller Humor, Sprachgewalt und intellektueller Gedanken "Das Genie und die Göttin" erzählt die Geschichte eines brillanten Professors, seiner wunderschönen Frau und einem jungen Mann, der ihre Welt in Stücke reißt. Huxley schafft es, seinen Figuren Ruhe, Hilflosigkeit, Liebe, Genialität, Humor und Zynik mit brachialer Harmonie zu geben. Ein Meisterwerk, das durch seine Unauffälligkeit glänzt, und als das Gegenstück zu Huxleys bekanntesten Roman "Schöne neue Welt" gilt. "Sollte Huxleys mit höchster Meisterschaft aufgebaute Erzählung eine Moral haben, so wäre es wohl die: daß der perfekte Gehirnmensch nicht nur am Leben vorbeilebt, sondern den Tod ausstreut und noch gar nicht einmal auf seine Opfer achtet." (Christian E. Lewalter, DIE ZEIT)

Book Synopsis The Ironic Temper and the Comic Imagination by : Morton Gurewitch
Download or read book The Ironic Temper and the Comic Imagination written by Morton Gurewitch and published by Wayne State University Press. This book was released on 1994 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ironic Temper and the Comic Imagination examines and illuminates the role which the ironic temper plays in the creation of complex literary comedy. The book focuses on ironic comedy, though not of the kind that is characterized by the surprises and shocks, the incongruities and reversals, of circumstantial irony. Circumstantial—or situational—irony cannot stand alone; it serves, for example, the aggressive functions of satire, or the irrational impulses of farce, or the benevolent, whimsical, or pain-defeating energies of humor.
