About this item
Un mundo feliz es un clsico de la literatura de este siglo. Con irona mordiente, el genial autor ingls plasma una sombra metfora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los ultimos aos. La novela describe un mundo en el que finalmente se han cumplido los peores vaticinios: triunfan los dioses del consumo y la comodidad, y el orbe se organiza en diez zonas en apariencia seguras y estables. Sin embargo, este mundo ha sacrificado valores humanos esenciales, y sus habitantes son procreados in vitro a imagen y semejanza de una cadena de montaje... ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ldous Huxley is rightly considered a prophetic genius and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the 20th Century, and Brave New World is his masterpiece.
