Because our world is not the same as Othello’s world. You can’t make flivvers without steel – and you can’t make tragedies without social instability. The world’s stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can’t get. They’re well off; they’re safe; they’re never ill; they’re not afraid of death; they’re blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they’re plagued with no mothers or fathers; they’ve got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they’re so conditioned that they practically can’t help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there’s soma.

(Aldous Huxley – Brave new world)

Se pare ca zilele minunate se tin lant. Azi am stat cateva ore bune in povesti cu Oana de la Eartricks. Oana e o persoana cu adevarat speciala! Mi-a placut enorm de mult sa povestesc cu ea, sa rad cu ea, sa admir minunatiile pe care le face. Si, evident, am cumparat si cercei :)


Apoi am mers repede la gara unde m-am intalnit cu Horia. Era cu enorm de multe bagaje dupa el, aproape toate pungile fiind pline cu carti. Am primit si eu 3 [Intuneric la amiaza - Koestler; Orbitor-aripa stanga - Mircea Cartarescu si Dune:Casa Atreides - Brian Herbert si Kevin J. Anderson] – multumesc Horia!!! Mi-ar fi placut sa stam mai mult in povesti, dar asta este…


Ps. Brave new world e incredibila!
