Chapter I Modernism in XX century and Aldous Huxley

    1. Literary Modernism in XX century

Aldous Huxley, or Aldous Leonard Huxley, was an English novelist and critic who was born on July 26, 1894, in Godalming, Surrey, England, and died on November 22, 1963, in Los Angeles, California, United States. His works are known for their wit and pessimistic satire. He is still best known for one book, Brave New World (1932), which served as a model for a lot of dystopian science fiction that came after.
Aldous Huxley was the third child of the writer and biographer Leonard Huxley and a grandson of the well-known biologist Thomas Henry Huxley; Andrew Fielding Huxley, a physiologist, and Julian Huxley, a biologist, were among his brothers. He attended Eton College, where keratitis caused him to become partially blind. He graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, in 1916, and he had sufficient eyesight to have difficulty reading. He distributed his most memorable book in 1916 and chipped away at the periodical Athenaeum from 1919 to 1921. After that, most of his time was spent writing, and he spent a lot of time in Italy until the late 1930s, when he moved to California.\

Creators of Exemplary Writing
Huxley secured himself as a significant creator with his initial two distributed books, Crome Yellow (1921) and Joke Feed (1923); These are funny, malicious satires of the English literary and intellectual cliques of his time. Similar works include Point Counter Point (1928) and Those Barren Leaves (1925).
State-of-the-art existence (1932) denoted a defining moment in Huxley's vocation: like his prior work, it is an essentially satiric novel, yet it additionally clearly communicates Huxley's doubt of twentieth century patterns in both legislative issues and innovation. In the novel, the dystopian society of the future is depicted as one in which psychological conditioning serves as the foundation for a caste system that is scientifically determined and unchanging. This system, in turn, eliminates the individual and gives the World State complete control. The clever Eyeless in Gaza (1936) keeps on shooting spikes at the vacancy and aimlessness experienced in contemporary society, yet it likewise shows Huxley's developing interest in Hindu way of thinking and otherworldliness as a feasible other option. ( This preoccupation is reflected in many of his subsequent works, including The Perennial Philosophy (1946).) Huxley focused on American culture in his novel After Many a Summer Dies the Swan, published in 1939, shortly after he moved to California.
The Doors of Perception (1954), a book about Huxley's experiences with the hallucinogenic drug mescaline, and The Devils of Loudun (1952), a detailed psychological study of a historical incident in which a group of 17th-century French nuns were allegedly the victims of demonic possession, are two of Huxley's most significant later works. His last novel, Island (1962), is an idealistic vision of a Pacific Sea society.
The writer's deep rooted distraction with the negative and positive effects of science and innovation on twentieth century life, communicated generally strongly in State-of-the-art existence yet in addition in one of his last expositions, composed for Encyclopædia Britannica's 1963 volume of The Extraordinary thoughts Today, about the victory of room, make him one of the agent authors and savvy people of that long time.
