Aldous, Huxley
Brave New World. London: Chatto & Windus, 1932

8vo. Half-title, uncut, "MSU" stamp to front free endpaper. Publisher's yellow cloth, morocco label to spine, lettered in gilt, top edge gilt; spine and top edge of upper cover a little toned.

The signed limited edition, numbered 94 of 324, of this pinnacle of dystopian literature.

Brave New World imagines a massively cloned population being controlled through a combination of infant conditioning, drugs and social engineering. Unlike Orwell's later vision of governmental autocracy in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Huxley's vision was of a population of slaves "who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude" (Huxley, writing to Orwell, see Letters, 604).

The UK edition was split into signed and trade issues, published simultaneously on 2 February, following publication of the signed issue of the US edition on 21 January, and preceding the US trade issue on 4 February.
