Aldous Huxley · 1932 · global

Aldous Huxley's 1932 dystopia. In a future World State engineered for stability, pleasure and mass-produced contentment, the misfit Bernard Marx takes Lenina from London to a New Mexico Savage Reservation, and brings back John, a man born of a mother and raised on Shakespeare. John's collision with the brave new world drives him to a lonely lighthouse and a tragic end.
