Brave new world, translated into French as Le meilleur des mondes, takes the reader into a futuristic society frozen in eugenics, in which humans are conditioned for stability without freedom or emotion. In this ferocious dystopian critique of progress and happiness, Aldous Huxley puts the aspirations of his time on trial.
A literary masterpiece, one of the great novels of the 20th century, here in its original, large-print edition.
Good copy
