Brave New World. Mit Materialien (New Longman Literature)

Distopía, Novela por Aldous Huxley, Fred Fordham

Resumen

Un mundo feliz es un clásico de la literatura de este siglo. Con ironía mordiente, el genial autor inglés plasma una sombría metáfora sobre el futuro, muchas de cuyas previsiones se han materializado, acelerada e inquietantemente, en los últimos años. 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...

Just keep in mind throughout the book that it was written in 1931. You will be devastated every time you remember that.

first of all, i am very happy that i purchased an edition with a beautiful introduction of yuval noah harari. „the climatic dialogue between mustapha mond and john the savage is among the most profound discussions of technology, happiness and the meaning of life in modern western philosophy.“ i followed his advice and as i reached this dialogue, in other words the culmination, i could clearly see how society destroyed a moral in order to reach an eternal comfort. we are striving for a society which would have no trouble in living, no choice and no problems, but if no bad side exists will we continue to stay human? because we are the creatures, for whom it’s natural to make mistakes, to fight for something. and as we see in this book, pressing a natural „bad“ side of human turns them into a vegetable (nice phrase which use to describe people during totalitarian regime in ukraine) and completely erases a personality. „you got rid of them. yes, that’s just like you. getting rid of everything unpleasant instead of learning to put up with it, whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing end them… but you don’t do either. neither suffer nor oppose. you just abolish the slings and arrows. it’s too easy.“ and further consequences, which we can see is a disappearance of all forms of art because what? right, because the point of art is highlighting problems in society and a person in an aesthetically pleasing way. and as an example there was a shakespeare and a bible, which was considered to be „a pornographic literature“. but of course we need no problems. but still we will continue „to advance“ to a flawless society, a brave new world. at this point, we will have to try also to save a morality, cherish culture and literature and don’t reject our natural human side.

Good despite itself, as the only really sympathetic character is Lenina. The whole cast of protagonists make their case even more ridiculous than it would already be.

Düster und in einigen Punkten erschreckend genau auf den Punkt. Leider hat es in vielen Abschnitten echte Längen. Regt aber dennoch auch zum nachdenken an.

Misfritz.com informiert Was gefällt, ist das Kolorit, wie er Zeitgenössisches abfackelt. Dann wiederum nervt er, schreibt einfach aus der Wikipedia ab, langweilt mit pseudo-wissenschaftlicher Sprache. Problem: Er kann nicht wirklich schreiben.
