《美丽新世界》是二十世纪经典的反乌托邦文学之一。这部作品与乔治.奥威尔的《1984》、扎米亚京的《我们》并称为“反乌托邦”三书，在国内外思想界影响深远。

书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识，为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会。这是一个人从出生到死亡都受着控制的社会。在这个“美丽新世界”里，由于社会与生物控制技术的发展，人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶。这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了。

这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会，人类经基因控制孵化，被分为五个阶级，分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动。人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作，视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福。因此，这是，一个快乐的社会，这种快乐还有别的措施保障，比如睡眠教学，催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维，国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情。

正是在这个“美丽新世界”里，人们失去了个人情感，失去了爱情——性代替了爱，失去了痛苦、激情和经历危险的感觉。非常可怕的是，人们失去了恩考的权利，失去了创造力。

《蝇王》是英国作家、诺贝尔文学奖获得者威廉·戈尔丁的代表作，是一本重要的哲理小说，借小孩的天真来探讨人性的恶这一严肃主题。

故事发生于想象中的第三次世界大战，一群六岁至十二岁的儿童在撤退途中因飞机失事被困在一座荒岛上，起先尚能和睦相处，后来由于恶的本性的膨胀起来，便互相残杀，发生悲剧性的结果。

“蝇王”一词在《圣经》中是万恶之首的意思，戈尔丁认为人类所经历的灾难都和人类本身的邪恶本性有关。小说的主题是企图把社会的种种弊端归咎于人性的缺陷，其寓意是，一个社会的状态取决于个人的道德本性，而非政治制度。

作者将抽象的哲理命题具体化，让读者通过阅读引人入胜的故事和激动人心的争斗场面来加以体悟，人物、场景、故事、意象等都深具象征意义。

这是一本透过孩子们的故事反映人性的书，它不是一本通常意义上的儿童文学，孩子们在岛上的生活是社会的一个缩影。这本书，它引发了读者对人性黑暗的认识，内容层层紧扣，一点点揭开黑暗，引起人们的思考。

Aldous Huxley is the author of the classic novels Island, Eyeless in Gaza, and The Genius and the Goddess, as well as such critically acclaimed nonfiction works as The Devils of Loudun, The Doors of Perception, and The Perennial Philosophy. Born in Surrey, England, and educated at Oxford, he died in Los Angeles.

Born in Cornwall, England, in 1911 and educated at Oxford University, William Gerald Golding's first book, Poems, was published in 1935. Following a stint in the Royal Navy and other diversions during and after World War II, Golding wrote Lord of the Flies while teaching school. This was the first of several novels including Pincher Martin, Free Fall, and The Inheritors and a play, The Brass Butterfly, which led to his being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1983.

Brave New World

Far in the future, the World Controllers have finally created the ideal society. In laboratories worldwide, genetic science has brought the human race to perfection. From the Alpha-Plus mandarin class to the Epsilon-Minus Semi-Morons, designed to perform menial tasks, man is bred and educated to be blissfully content with his pre-destined role. But, in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, Bernard Marx is unhappy. Harbouring an unnatural desire for solitude, feeling only distaste for the endless pleasures of compulsory promiscuity, Bernard has an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress... 

Lord of the Flies

William Golding's compelling story about a group of very ordinary small boys marooned on a coral island has become a modern classic. At first it seems as though it is all going to be great fun; but the fun before long becomes furious and life on the island turns into a nightmare of panic and death. As ordinary standards of behaviour collapse, the whole world the boys know collapses with them—the world of cricket and homework and adventure stories—and another world is revealed beneath, primitive and terrible.

Lord of the Flies remains as provocative today as when it was first published in 1954, igniting passionate debate with its startling, brutal portrait of human nature. Though critically acclaimed, it was largely ignored upon its initial publication. Yet soon it became a cult favorite among both students and literary critics who compared it to J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye in its influence on modern thought and literature.

Labeled a parable, an allegory, a myth, a morality tale, a parody, a political treatise, even a vision of the apocalypse, Lord of the Flies has established itself as a true classic.
