Moving On.
Born to a prestigious Biologists and a mother who came from a well-known family, Aldous Leonard Huxley was born in July 26 1894. Because of an eye sickness, he gave up on the study of medicine, which was his first choice career. His literary work is appraised because of its legitimate satire, witticism, and even humor. .
His first novel is the Crome Yellow, which gave him prestige pretty quick. It is about his rational pretensions of his life. His most appraised literary work though, most known, and controversial as well is Brave New World (1932). In this novel he employs Dystopia and government abuse of power as the primarily subject.
The atmosphere in which he grew up, among spoil pretensions, stoic people helped him find his voice. He utilized his own experiences in order to write better. What is amazing is that his futuristic writing remains contemporary. It still encompasses the problems or obscure fears of society. All the things he says such as people cloning other human beings by hundredths and government trying to rule every individuals" life is something that seems too likable to happen. Now a days even more because of the recent discovering and the ones yet to come about cloning. .
Like George Orwell, Huxley criticizes governments" way of intruding in people's lives. They fear that individuals cannot longer be individuals because the government is always there, watching. Individualism was a word not known to people, their thoughts, were supposed to be those that the government inculcated in them, through propaganda and peer pressure.
One event that had a great influence in Huxley was his mom's death. She died from cancer when he was 14 years old. His mother's death made him aware of the transience of the happiness of humans. Huxley was a special child, intelligent, alert. He valued his uniqueness as much as he valued his freedom; he reflects that feeling in The Brave New World.
