Birth Control

Yazan: -
     The book mentions a birth control system developed on the island. This system has been developed to keep the quality standard high and provide enough accommodation for everyone. Care is taken not to have more than three babies and usually two babies. In addition, some couples want to have good genes for their children, "deep freeze" method using the sperm of individuals with good genes prefer to reproduce. This idea is similar to one of Aldous Huxley's other important works, the methods of reproduction in the Brave New World. For example, in the book, Shanta and Vijaya seek to develop the artistic aspect of their children. So if we focus on some of the important questions that can be asked at this point, can children's good genes always play a role in the development of a country?    Is it possible to have a lot of different ideas that express opinions in the society, or to develop together?    In addition, if we take into account thes...

     Here are some book cover designs of Island from Turkey, USA, UK, Germany, France, Russia, Protugal, Spain, Italy and Poland.

           Aldous Huxley was an English literary author who is renowned for his novel,  Brave New World , which was published in 1931. Apart from writing novels, he also wrote a few travel books, poems, plays and several essays on religion, art and sociology.      Island is Huxley's final novel. We can see the effects of his interest in philosophy and religion on the book. However, it is not as famous as Brave New World. As I understood from various sources, Huxley was later convinced  that he had imprisoned the reader in dystopia in "Brave New World". And he always had a utopia in his head. According to some comments on the Internet, he was so obsessed with writing the anti-thesis of his own book that fiction vanished alongside intense knowledge. I personally find the book interesting to read, but I also accept that some parts include too much philosophical and sociological critisism that you can forget you are reading a story....
