Island
by Aldous Huxley
For more than a hundred years, the Pacific island of Pala has been the scene of a unique experience in civilization. Its inhabitants live in a society where Western science is combined with Eastern philosophy and humanism to create heaven on earth. When cynical journalist Will Farnaby comes to search for information about potential oil reserves at Pala, he quickly falls in love with the lifestyle on the island. Soon the need to fulfill your task becomes an unbearable burden. At the opposite point of Brave New World and Monkey and Self, Huxley Island gives us the vision of utopia.
