I had no idea what Huxley's book 'Brave New World' was known under in France. Consulting the French entry for the author Wikipedia gave me the answer and was not surprised to find that the title was not a word for word translation.
It was published in France under the title of 'Le meilleur des mondes.' (The best of (all) worlds.)
I also learnt that Huxley died on the same day as C.S. Lewis - the 22nd November 1963 - and that both their deaths were eclipsed on that day in the media by the death of President J.F.Kennedy.
