Aldous Huxley, “Island”

Huxley’s last novel

 

For over a hundred years the Pacific island of Pala has been the scene of a unique experiment in civilisation. Its inhabitants live in a society where western science has been brought together with Eastern philosophy to create a paradise on earth. When cynical journalist, Will Farnaby, arrives to research potential oil reserves on Pala, he quickly falls in love with the way of life on the island. Soon the need to complete his mission becomes an intolerable burden and he must make a difficult choice.

 

Island (1962) is Huxley’s last work before his death in 1963. In counterpoint to Brave New World and Ape and Essence, in Island Huxley gives us his vision of utopia.

 

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was a British writer. His first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), established his literary reputation. He is best known for his 1932 novel Brave New World, a nightmarish vision of the future.
