"A masterpiece. . . . One of the most prophetic dystopian works." --Wall Street Journal Now more than ever Aldous Huxley's enduring masterwork must be read and understood by anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit. This celebrated classic is now available as a Harper Perennial Olive Edition.Aldous Huxley's profoundly important classic of world literature, Brave New World is a searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order--all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls. "A genius [who] who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine" (The New Yorker), Huxley was a man of incomparable talents: equally an artist, a spiritual seeker, and one of history's keenest observers of human nature and civilization. Brave New World, his masterpiece, has enthralled and terrified millions of read

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland tells of Alice, a girl who falls through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale’s distorted and sometimes disorienting logic has contributed to its enduring popularity with adults as well as with children. It is one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course, structure, characters, and imagery have all been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature.In Through the Looking Glass, Alice once again finds herself transported to a bizarre and nonsensical setting after she passes through a mirror into the “looking-glass world,” where precisely nothing is quite as it seems, and where almost everything is reversed. This handsome, inexpensive edition, complete with the original John Tenniel illustrations, makes available to today's readers a classic of juvenile literature long-cherished for its humor, whimsy, and incomparable fantasy.

This pioneering volume explores the long-neglected history of social rights, from the Middle Ages to the present. It debunks the myth that social rights are 'second-generation rights' – rights that appeared after World War II as additions to a rights corpus stretching back to the Enlightenment. Not only do social rights stretch back that far; they arguably pre-date the Enlightenment. In tracing their long history across various global contexts, this volume reveals how debates over social rights have often turned on deeper struggles over social obligation – over determining who owes what to whom, morally and legally. In the modern period, these struggles have been intertwined with questions of freedom, democracy, equality and dignity. Many factors have shaped the history of social rights, from class, gender and race to religion, empire and capitalism. With incomparable chronological depth, geographical breadth and conceptual nuance, Social Rights and the Politics of Obligation in Histor
