Originally published in 1932, Brave New World is one of the most revered and profound works of twentieth century literature.

Point Counter Point [图书] Goodreads
Aldous Huxley's lifelong concern with the dichotomy between passion and reason finds its fullest expression both thematically and formally in his masterpiece Point Counter Point . By presenting a vision of life in which diverse aspects of experience are observed simultaneously, Huxley characterizes the symptoms of "the disease of the modern man" in the manner of a composer--themes and characters are repeated, altered slightly, and played off one another in a tone that is at once critical and sympathetic.
First published in 1928, Huxley's satiric view of intellectual life in the '20s is populated with characters based on such celebrities as D.H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Nancy Cunard, and John Middleton Murry, as well as Huxley himself.

دنیای قشنگ نو [图书] Goodreads
دنیای قشنگ نو نمایانترین اثر هاکسلی است. بعضی از منتقدان طنز این کتاب را بیش از حد تلخ و تند میدانند. پرخاش توفندهای که هاکسلی به صنعتگرایی دیوانهوار انسان امروز میکند، در عین حال هم امید او را به بشر و هم نومیدی او را از بشر نشان میدهد. به یک اعتبار در تحلیل آخر، این کتاب را باید خوشبینانه دانست، زیرا با وجود تهدید همه جانبهای که حیات بشر را احاطه کردهاست، هاکسلی به بقای او اعتقاد دارد. از طرف دیگر شاید بتوان گفت که هاکسلی «امروز» را هجو میکند نه آینده را. ناکجاآباد فردای او همین خراب آباد امروز ماست. «دنیای قشنگ نو» از اعقاب جمهوریت افلاطون است و به گفتهی یکی از ناقدان، هاکسلی اتوپیا را از آن جهت علم میکند که دیگر هرگز علم نشود. آخرین سخنش این است که امکان زیستن هست ولی اینگونه زیستن زندگانی نیست.
