A proposito di questo titolo
 Step into the world of Crome Yellow, Aldous Huxleys debut novel published in 1921, where the author cleverly satirizes the trends and whims of his era. Set against the backdrop of an extravagant house party at the estate of ‘Crome,’ we meet a vibrant cast of characters, known as the bright young things. Through the eyes of Henry Wimbush, the houses owner and self-proclaimed historian, we explore the rich history of the estate, while prophecies of apocalypse loom, innocence is lost, and profound aphorisms emerge in a state of reverie. Our protagonist, Denis, grapples with the complexities of love and seeks to immortalize his experiences in poetry, only to find himself disillusioned. Huxley, born in 1894, began his literary journey with poetry and short stories in his early twenties, and Crome Yellow marked the beginning of his illustrious career.
