About this Item
Beautiful clean book near fine, with a stunning near fine vibrant original dust jacket. ?A nightmarish prognostication of a future in which humanity has been destroyed by science. Easily Huxley?s most popular (and many good judges continue to think his best) novel? Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 Greatest Novels of the twentieth century. The book is in beautiful condition with bright blue boards still retaining their original sheen, with bright unfaded gilt titles to spine. The boards have sharp corners, one slightly pushed, and no edgewear. Slight toning to the boards and slight soft creases along the spine, and one very tiny 1mm ding to rear board. The binding is tight and square. The end papers and internal pages are clean, with NO owner names, NO inscriptions, NO bookstore stamps and NO bookplates. The internal pages are clean, bright and flat with no stains, no marks, no foxing, no writing, no handling marks, and no bent pages. Lovely book internally appearing as unread. Rough cut page edges as published. Please see detailed images. The scarce original dust jacket has benefited from very slight restoration by an expert paper conservator to the spine tips and as such presents as a near fine example. The Brave New World jacket is known to be extremely fragile, and usually in pieces. This jacket has strong vibrant colors with no rips, no chips, no edgewear, no stains but a touch of slight toning to the spine. An absolutely lovely jacket presenting the book very well. The jacket is NOT price clipped and has a stated price of 7s. 6d.net. Please see detailed images. A very handsome unrestored example of this classic fragile book. A defining moment in the genre of the dystopian novel, Brave New World considers the dangers that new technologies and mass modernization pose to the very core of humanness. Rather than depicting these developments as gateways to utopia, as writers such as H.G. Wells had done, Huxley foreshadowed how radically technology and psychological conditioning could limit individual rights ranging from sexuality and reproduction to creativity to love. A ?nightmarish prognostication of a future in which humanity has been destroyed by science? (DNB). ADDITIONAL IMAGES AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. PLEASE SEE OUR ABE STORE FOR MORE SCI-FI TITLES.
