By presenting a vision of life in which diverse aspects of experience are observed simultaneously, Huxley characterizes the symptoms of \"the disease of modern man' in the manner of a composer-themes and characters are repeated, altered slightly, and played off one another in a tone that is at once critical and sympathetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1928, Huxley's satiric view of intellectual life in the '20s is populated with characters based on such celebrities of the time as D. H. Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Sir Oswald Mosley, Nancy Cunard, and John Middleton Murray, as well as Huxley himself. A major work of the twentieth century and a monument of literary modernism, this edition includes an introduction by acclaimed novelist Nicholas Mosley (author of \u003ci\u003eHopeful Monsters \u003c\/i\u003eand the son of Sir Oswald Mosley).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlong with \u003ci\u003eBrave New World \u003c\/i\u003e(written a few years later), \u003ci\u003ePoint Counter Point \u003c\/i\u003eis Huxley's most concentrated attack on the scientific attitude and its effect on modern culture. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer who spent the latter part of his life in the United States. Though best known for \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e, he also wrote countless works of fiction, non-fiction, poetry and essays. A humanist, pacifist and satirist, he wrote novels and other works that functioned as critiques of social norms and ideals. Aldous Huxley is often considered a leader of modern thought and one of the most important literary and philosophical voices of the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 538\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.4 x 8.3 x 5.6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 19, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47255007658233,"sku":"9781628974492","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/Ah-aLuznqr9781628974492_3a93ca06-90ca-4aea-b239-9e41e290ec17.webp?v=1768717251","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/point-counter-point-paperback-1","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
