Book Synopsis After Many a Summer Dies the Swan by : Aldous Huxley
Download or read book After Many a Summer Dies the Swan written by Aldous Huxley and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 1993-01-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity-these are the elements of Aldous Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely. With his customary wit and intellectual sophistication, Huxley pursues his characters in their quest for the eternal, finishing on a note of horror. "This is Mr. Huxley's Hollywood novel, and you might expect it to be fantastic, extravagant, crazy and preposterous. It is all that, and heaven and hell too....It is the kind of novel that he is particularly the master of, where the most extraordinary and fortuitous events are followed by contemplative little essays on the meaning of life....The story is outrageously good."—New York Times. "A highly sensational plot that will keep astonishing you to practically the final sentence."—The New Yorker. "Mr. Huxley's elegant mockery, his cruel aptness of phrase, the revelations and the ingenious surprises he springs on the reader are those of a master craftsman; Mr. Huxley is at the top of his form." —London Times Literary Supplement.
Download or read book Ape and Essence written by Aldous Huxley and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 1992-08-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Aldous Huxley's Brave New World first appeared in 1932, it presented in terms of purest fantasy a society bent on self-destruction. Few of its outraged critics anticipated the onset of another world war with its Holocaust and atomic ruin. In 1948, seeing that the probable shape of his anti-utopia had been altered inevitably by the facts of history, Huxley wrote Ape and Essence. In this savage novel, using the form of a film scenario, he transports us to the year 2108. The setting is Los Angeles where a "rediscovery expedition" from New Zealand is trying to make sense of what is left. From chief botanist Alfred Poole we learn, to our dismay, about the twenty-second-century way of life. "It was inevitable that Mr. Huxley should have written this book: one could almost have seen it since Hiroshima is the necessary sequel to Brave New World."—Alfred Kazin. "The book has a certain awesome impressiveness; its sheer intractable bitterness cannot but affect the reader."—Time.
Book Synopsis A Fever in Salem by : Laurie Winn Carlson
Download or read book A Fever in Salem written by Laurie Winn Carlson and published by Ivan R. Dee. This book was released on 1999-07-20 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new interpretation of the New England Witch Trials offers an innovative, well-grounded explanation of witchcraft's link to organic illness. While most historians have concentrated on the accused, Laurie Winn Carlson focuses on the afflicted. Systematically comparing the symptoms recorded in colonial diaries and court records to those of the encephalitis epidemic in the early twentieth century, she argues convincingly that the victims suffered from the same disease. A unique blend of historical epidemiology and sociology. —Katrina L. Kelner, Science. Meticulously researched...the author marshalls her arguments with clarity and persuasive force. —New Yorker

Book Synopsis Berkeley en 90 minutos by : Paul Strathern
Download or read book Berkeley en 90 minutos written by Paul Strathern and published by Siglo XXI. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La filosofía de Berkeley niega la existencia de la materia. Según él, no existe el mundo material, solamente la experiencia, de modo que, cuando algo no se ve, es que no existe. Entonces, ¿cómo es que subsiste el mundo? Pues porque lo sustenta la percepción constante de un Dios que todo lo ve. Las ideas de Berkeley parecen llevar el empirismo hasta extremos absurdos, pero ¿acaso no tenemos nosotros que dejar el sentido común y lo obvio a un lado para ir más allá de la pura existencia cotidiana?/span En Berkeley en 90 minutos, Paul Strathern expone de manera clara y concisa la vida e ideas de George Berkeley. El libro incluye una selección de sus escritos, una breve lista de lecturas sugeridas para aquellos que deseen profundizar en su pensamiento, y cronologías que sitúan a Berkeley en su época y en una sinopsis más amplia de la filosofía.
