About this product

Product Information

Read and loved Brave New World? Now experience Aldous Huxley's utopia. Special 3D cover edition - every copy comes with 3D glasses. 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.In counterpoint to Brave New World and Ape and Essence, in Island Huxley gives us his vision of utopia.WITH A BIOGRAPHICAL INTRODUCTION BY DAVID BRADSHAW

Thought provoking writing years ahead of its time.
A very thought provoking piece of writing & years ahead of its time. The premise of the novel is that a near perfect society has been established on an island in the early 20th century & it's isolated from the rest of the world but commercial pressures are about to force change. Not to the conclusion of the book but have enjoyed reading it thus far very much.
