Mit «Along the Road» lernen wir Aldous Huxley, den Autor der visionären Dystopie «Schöne Neue Welt», von einer bisher kaum bekannten Seite kennen: als großen Reiseschriftsteller. Huxley führt uns durch das Europa der Zwanziger, eine Welt im Umbruch, in der eine neue Mobilität auf alte Formen des Reisens prallt. Auch Huxley erliegt dem Reiz der Geschwindigkeit, wenn er mit seinem 10-PS-Citroën in Oberitalien an kunsteifrigen deutschen Wandervögeln vorbeirauscht. Zugleich folgen wir einem humorvollen Flaneur, der im Zugabteil dritter Klasse den Geschichten der Menschen lauscht, sich mit großer Lust am Unerwarteten am liebsten von völlig veralteten Reiseführern durch Amsterdam, Paris oder Rom leiten lässt und einfach eine grün getönte Brille aufsetzt, wenn es den Weiten Südfrankreichs mal etwas an Frische fehlt. Er sucht nach verborgenen Kulturschätzen, ist auf den Spuren Brueghels oder Botticellis, in Konzerten oder Theatern, beim Pferderennen in Siena und an den Küsten Italiens. Und zwischen Elba, lombardischen Renaissancestädten und der traumschönen Landschaft der Toskana entdeckt er eine verloren geglaubte Welt. Eine sinnenfrohe Schule des Sehens, eine einzigartige Gebrauchsanweisung für Reisende.

Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 - 22 November 1963) was an English writer and philosopher. He wrote nearly 50 books-both novels and non-fiction works-as well as wide-ranging essays, narratives, and poems. Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with an undergraduate degree in English literature. Early in his career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel writing, satire, and screenplays. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the foremost intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature nine times and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962. Huxley was a pacifist. He grew interested in philosophical mysticism and universalism, addressing these subjects with works such as The Perennial Philosophy (1945)-which illustrates commonalities between Western and Eastern mysticism-and The Doors of Perception (1954)-which interprets his own psychedelic experience with mescaline. In his most famous novel Brave New World (1932) and his final novel Island (1962), he presented his vision of dystopia and utopia, respectively. (wikipedia.org)

Nowy wspaniały świat to jedna z najsłynniejszych antyutopii w literaturze XX wieku. Przedstawiona w powieści Huxleya wizja przyszłego społeczeństwa, które osiągnęło stan całkowitego zorganizowania i zrealizowało ideał powszechnej szczęśliwości, jest wizją przerażającą. W roku 2541 (czyli w 632 roku nowej „ery Forda”) obywatele Republiki świata powstają w rezultacie sztucznego zapłodnienia i klonowania. Od niemowlęcia poddawani są wszechstronnemu psychologicznemu i biologicznemu warunkowaniu - po to, by w wieku dojrzałym stać się cząstkami kastowej społeczności, złożonej z pozbawionych wyższych uczuć ludzkich automatów. Czy ten „wspaniały świat”, w którym dominuje seks, prymitywne rozrywki, narkotyk soma, jest tylko zrodzoną w wyobraźni pisarza fantasmagorią?...
