| 1 | A Letter From Aldous Huxley to George Or | Aldous Huxley |
| In October of 1949, a few months after publication of George Orwell‘s masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four, he received a letter from fellow author Aldous Huxley, a man who, 17 years previous, had seen his own nightmarish vision of society published in the form of the classic, Brave New World. What begins as a letter of praise soon becomes a brief comparison of the two novels, and an explanation as to why Huxley believes his own earlier work to be a more realistic prediction. It should be noted that in 1917, long before he wrote this letter, Aldous Huxley briefly taught Orwell French at Eton College in Berkshire. |
