Overview

Orb prin Gaza surprinde criza spirituală a societăţii londoneze dintre cele două războaie mondiale. Presărat cu numeroase detalii din viaţa autorului, romanul urmăreşte evenimentele semnificative din viaţa lui Anthony Beavis, un intelectual măcinat de sentimentul inutilităţii propriei existenţe, şi a cercului său restrâns de prieteni. Alternând în permanenţă planurile temporale, naraţiunea acoperă o perioadă de mai bine de treizeci de ani – moartea timpurie a mamei lui Anthony, relaţiile amoroase cu Mary Amberley şi apoi cu fiica ei, Helen, participarea la revoluţia din Mexic împreună cu Mark Staithes –, descriind eforturile protagonistului de a ieşi din starea sa de inerţie şi de a da un sens propriei existente. Tehnica narativă a contrapunctului conferă prozei lui Huxley o uimitoare muzicalitate şi originalitate.

About the Author

About The Author
Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) was an English novelist, poet, essayist, and dramatist famous for his dystopian 1932 book Brave New World, set in a prescient, futuristic London and long a staple of middle–school curricula. Huxley was greatly concerned about the future of humanity and was often referred to as a humanist, although, with age, he became more focused on spirituality. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the preeminent intellectuals of his era and was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in seven separate years.
