Aldous Huxley - Admirável Mundo Novo

Special edition of Aldous Huxley's famous dystopian novel about a totalitarian society of the future, ruled by technology and materialism under the guise of democracy and happiness.

"Brave New World" is a fantastic parable about the dehumanization of human beings. In the negative utopia described in the book, Man has been subjugated by his inventions. Science, technology, and social organization have ceased to be at the service of Man; they have become his masters. Since the publication of this book, the world has moved so rapidly in the wrong direction that, if I were to write the same work today, the action would not be six hundred years from the present, but only two hundred. The price of freedom, and even of simple humanity, is eternal vigilance.

Includes a preface by Manuel Portela and the letter sent by the author to George Orwell when "1984" was published.
