Description
On the Pacific island of Pala, a unique experiment in civilisation has been underway for over a hundred years. Western science and Eastern philosophy have been combined to create a society where technology and spirituality coexist in harmony. When a cynical journalist arrives to research potential oil reserves, he finds himself drawn to the island's way of life.
As he struggles with the need to complete his mission, the journalist must make a difficult choice that will test his values and his sense of belonging. In this thought-provoking novel, Aldous Huxley presents a vision of utopia that challenges conventional notions of society and human nature.
With a brief introduction by David Bradshaw, Island offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that is both familiar and yet, utterly alien.
