Brave New World by Aldous Huxley



The above illustrations were created for Folio Society's Book Illustration Competition, which this year was focused on Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Personally I absolutely loved the book and will recommend it to everyone. It's a great classic and although the story is truly futuristic it feels freakishly current at the same time... An absolute must :)

Image 1 describles Lenina Crowne talking boys to her friend Fanny while returning from the vibro-vac looking all pretty, pinky and glowing

Image 2 describes Bernard's failed romantic attempt to charm Lenina by the moon light...

Image 3 describes the forbidden reading between Mustapha Mond, John the Savage and Helmholtz Watson

Great work Marta, I am so sad I missed this competition again! Good luck!
