El genio y la diosa (bolsillo)

by Aldous Huxley, Miguel de Hernani (Translator)

Overview

The relationships between an eminent physicist, his beautiful wife and an inexperienced young man who aspires to become a scientist are transformed, by a strange combination of desire and illness, into the manifestation of a state of grace that seems to be typical of God. Through a very intelligent plot and deployed with the insight, irony and ease that characterize it, Huxley proposes a charming and very funny novel, but with a double background.

About the Author

Aldous Huxley trained at Eton and Oxford, made his name with his first predominantly satirical novels, but the success and critical attention came to him with Contrapunto, which was followed by Brave New World, perhaps his most famous work and without a doubt the most disturbing. He spent time writing film scripts in Hollywood, until he returned to the forefront with novels such as The Genius and the Goddess, Time Must Stop, Mono and Essence and The Island. He is also the author of influential essays, including The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, New Visit to a Happy World or those gathered in If My Library Burns Tonight.
