Description

Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published in 1921.

In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time.

It is the story of a house party at Crome, a parodic version of Garsington Manor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a house where authors such as Huxley and T.

S. Eliot used to gather and write. The book contains a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's later novel, Brave New World.

Mr. Scogan, one of the characters, describes an "impersonal generation" of the future that will "take the place of Nature's hideous system.

In vast state incubators, rows upon rows of gravid bottles will supply the world with the population it requires.

The family system will disappear; society, sapped at its very base, will have to find new foundations; and Eros, beautifully and irresponsibly free, will flit like a gay butterfly from flower to flower through a sunlit world." (Wikipdia)
