350 pp. 8vo. A novel by the author of Brave New World. "A satire of post-World War I London intellectuals, the work follows Theodore Gumbril, Jr., the protagonist, and his bohemian friends as they drift aimlessly through their lives in search of happiness. Huxley's witty and allusive narrative style is a strong counterpoint to his nihilistic vision of humanity." - Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
