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.\u003cbr\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 Hopeful Monsters and the son of Sir Oswald Mosley).\u003cbr\u003eAlong with Brave New World (written a few years later), Point Counter Point is Huxley's most concentrated attack on the scientific attitude and its effect on modern culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781628974492\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e Height: 8.25 inches, Length: 5.5 inches, Weight: 1.4 pounds, Width: 1.25 inches\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aldous Huxley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863373316403,"sku":"9781628974492","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/27163993482767.jpg?v=1754195229","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/point-counter-point","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
