Very good 1st edition 1st reprint same month unclipped d/j some chipping in protective sleeve blue clothbound boards gilt spine titling and pressed school crest; text block firm pages crisp; inside pastedown school prize label. 8vo: crown 200 x 140 / 8"" x 5_"". In his 1932 classic dystopian novel Brave New World Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley's views on overpopulation propaganda advertising and government control and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

Brave New World Revisited.
New York: Harper & Brothers 1959. First edition of Huxley's classic work revisiting the premises of his iconic dystopian and prophetic novel published 28 years earlier and how this vision has come to fruition. Octavo original cloth. Boldly signed by Aldous Huxley on the half-title page. This title is rare signed as Huxley near the end of his life was nearly blind. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Rare and desirable signed. Published 28 years after Huxley’s nightmarish masterpiece Brave New World Revisited contains a concise analysis of how the author's grotesque vision of the future has in many ways already come to fruition. Huxley examines the ways in which Big Business and political propaganda have already established a "psychological slave trade" in addition to many other "Brave New World techniques" which increasingly threaten the freedom of the individual. Chapters include Propaganda in a Democratic Society The Arts of Selling Brainwashing Chemical Persuasion Hypnopaedia and Education For Freedom. Harper & Brothers hardcover

Brave New World
London: Chatto and Windus 1932. First Edition. Deluxe issue number 154 of 324 signed copies. 8vo. Fine in the publisher's yellow cloth morocco label to spine lettered in gilt top edge gilt. The UK edition was split into signed and trade issues published simultaneously on 2 February following publication of the signed issue of the US edition on 21 January and preceding the US trade issue on 4 February. Half morocco box. Connolly 75; Eschelbach and Shober 10. "Brave New World" occupies a singular position within the twentieth-century literary canon as a prophetic dystopian vision that transcends mere speculative fiction through its incisive critique of technological determinism consumer capitalism and the erosion of individual autonomy. Unlike contemporaneous dystopian works that focused primarily on political authoritarianism Huxley's novel pioneered the concept of a "soft tyranny" wherein citizens willingly participate in their own subjugation through engineered pleasure and commodified happiness—a prescient anticipation of late capitalism's emphasis on consumption as identity formation. The novel's enduring relevance stems from its philosophical engagement with fundamental questions regarding the tension between individual liberty and social stability the ethical implications of biotechnology and the psychological price of material prosperity achieved through emotional suppression.
