为什么值得读
- 描摹了一个融汇精神探索与医学科技的现实乌托邦
- 探讨替代性社会结构及神圣之地遭受的冲击
- 带来关于个体渺小与生命安宁的深刻体验
作为 Aldous Huxley 的最后一部小说,Island 与其享誉全球的经典之作 Brave New World 形成了耐人寻味的对照;在小说中,一个坐落于偏远太平洋岛屿上繁荣、理想的社会引来了外界的嫉妒。

真挺可惜的,Huxley 在首次接触真正的迷幻药后写出的绝笔小说《岛》(Island),比起《美丽新世界》(Brave New World)受到的关注少得可怜。https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_(Huxley_novel) 但很显然,这个世界还没准备好……
It's a real shame that Huxley's final novel Island, written after his first exposure to actual psychedelics, gets so little press compared to Brave New World. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_(Huxley_novel) But apparently the world wasn't ready…
……这种存在方式带给我快乐和满足,也让我能够与他人分享这种感受。我很渺小。我在时间和空间上都是有限的。我只是一粒尘埃。这挺好的。这很美。最后的最后顺便提一句:Huxley 的《岛》(Island)实际上对这些做了不少探讨,无论如何都是一本极好的读物。
…way of being brings me joy and contentment, and allows me to share that with others. I am small. I am finite in time and space. I am dust. This is good. This is beautiful. Final final aside: Huxley’s Island explores quite a bit of this, actually, and it’s a great read either way.
……Heinlein——一部深入探讨人际关系、政治和宗教的经典科幻小说。和很多老科幻一样,通篇充斥着露骨的性别歧视。如果你能忽略这一点,它其实有很多绝佳的启发。Aldous Huxley 的《岛》(Island)——优美地审视了另一种社会结构、迷幻药,以及西方世界的残酷是如何吞噬神圣之地的。
…Heinlein - A classic SciFi novel that digs deep on relationships, politics, and religion. Like a lot of old SciFi, it's filled with blatant sexism. If you can look past that, it has a lot of great lessons. Island by Aldous Huxley - a beautiful look at alternative societal structures, psychedelics, and the cruelty of the western world overcoming sacred places.
Huxley 的《岛》(Island):“Will Farnaby 是一名玩世不恭的记者,在遭遇海难后来到了虚构的帕拉岛(Pala),那是一个佛教乐园,现代科学技术只有在能够改进医疗的限度内才被接纳……
Island, by Huxley "Will Farnaby is a cynical journalist shipwrecked on the fictional island of Pala, a Buddhist paradise where modern science and technology is embraced only insofar as it can improve medicine…
……不论如何,我们共同的人性足够强大,能让我们产生相似的体验,并对我们的体验给出(某种程度上)相似的解释。题外话,我想推荐一下 Huxley 的《岛》(Island),它很棒地勾勒出了一个现实可行的乌托邦可能长什么样。
…about, our shared humanity is strong enough to lead us to have similar experiences and (somewhat) similar explanations for what we experience. On an unrelated note, I would like to recommend Huxley's Island as a nice outline of what a realistic utopia might look like.
Aldous Huxley 的《岛》(Island)。它基本上就是他那本更出名的《美丽新世界》(Brave New World)的反面。它对一个与世隔绝的小型社会如何生活提供了全新的视角,(在我看来)很大程度上受到了原住民文化的启发。
Island by Aldous Huxley It's basically the opposite of his better-known Brave New World. It offers a fresh take on how a small isolated society can live, largely inspired (as I see it) by indigenous culture.
