"Island" (1962) - the last, the most mysterious and mystical creation of Aldous Huxley, in which found a continuation of the ideas of the cult novel "O wondrous new world". Conceived by the author as an anti-utopia, this work turned out to be much larger than the narrow limits of the utopian genre. This truly great philosophical novel is a reflection of modern society.
"Monkey and Essence" (1948) - a fantastic dystopia, a kind of warning of the writer about the coming nuclear catastrophe, which will wipe almost everything off the face of the earth, and on the wreckage of the former civilization survivors will try to build a new society. "The Genius and the Goddess" (1955) - at first glance a rather banal story about a love triangle. But the author managed to fill this story with depth, to touch upon the most important questions about fate and personal choice, about the opposition of emotions to reason, about duty, honor and love.
