Synopsis "Un Mundo Feliz (in Spanish)"

La pequeña y acogedora casa de Sanary, en la Provenza, donde residían los Huxley desde finales de la década de 1920, es el lugar donde Aldous, en abril de 1931, comenzó a escribir su denominada mala utopía, que concluyó en agosto de ese mismo año. En total solo necesitó cuatro meses para ultimarla. Obra maestra de la literatura de anticipación, un mundo feliz presenta un hipotético escenario futuro en el que todo vestigio del pasado ha sido erradicado con la finalidad de sellar una nueva era de la humanidad totalmente desprovista de contenido y sentido histórico. El denominado estado mundial ha destruido la historia y el pasado porque su obsesión es solo el presente. El año en el que se desarrolla la acción de la novela es el 632 después de Ford. La nueva era comienza tras la fabricación del primer Ford t en 1908, fecha de partida de esta futura civilización. Por consiguiente, el año 632 después de Ford equivaldría al 2540 de nuestra era, aproximadamente. Los ciudadanos de este nuevo mundo desconocen por completo los valores morales, culturales y espirituales, porque han sido condicionados para imitar y seguir un despiadado canon capitalista que delata una adulterada, profética y perturbadora idea del bienestar.

Aldous Huxley (Godalming, England, July 26, 1894 – Los Angeles, November 22, 1963) was a British novelist, essayist, and thinker, internationally recognized for his work “Brave New World”, which positioned him as one of the most incisive voices in dystopian literature and social criticism of the 20th century. Born into a family of intellectuals and scientists, Huxley studied at Eton College and the University of Oxford, developing a keen sensitivity to the ethical and technological challenges of his time, despite the severe visual difficulties that accompanied him from youth.

In addition to his famous novel, Huxley's legacy includes titles such as “The Doors of Perception”, “Point Counter Point”, and “Island”, as well as numerous essays where he explored everything from philosophy to spirituality and science. His works, translated into several languages and debated in academic circles around the world, are characterized by their critical view, their analysis of scientific progress, and their concern for individual freedom against the risks of social and technological manipulation.

Throughout his career, Huxley was nominated several times for the Nobel Prize in Literature, although he never won it. His work has been praised for anticipating the essential ethical dilemmas of the modern world and connecting with readers of different generations. He resided in the United States during his last years, where he continued to give lectures and write until his death, which coincided with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Aldous Huxley left a lasting work, considered fundamental to understanding the impact of technology and culture on contemporary society.
