Sinossi
"Crome Yellow'' is Aldous Huxley's debut novel, offering a satirical portrayal of the social trends and customs of its time. The story takes place during a house party at Crome, a fictional version of Lady Ottoline Morrell's Garsington Manor, known for hosting gatherings of notable authors like Huxley and T.S. Eliot. Within the narrative, Huxley provides a glimpse of his future work, "Brave New World," through Mr. Scogan's description of a futuristic society devoid of the family structure and reliant on artificial reproduction. Huxley's wit and foresight shine through as he explores the potential consequences of societal change and the liberation of human desires.
