Description
Aldous Huxley's Those Barren Leaves is set in a luxurious Italian palace overlooking the sea. A gathering of guests, each with their own unique story to tell, come together to mingle and socialise.
The poet edits The Rabbit Fancier's Gazette for a living, while a popular novelist records every detail of her affair as future literary material. An aging philosopher pursues a wealthy yet mentally-disabled heiress, and two young lovers navigate the complexities of love. Huxley's witty satire cuts through pretension and posturing, offering a comically fresh perspective that remains relevant today.
