Eyeless in Gaza: A Novel [Paperback]

One ofBrave New Worldauthor Aldous Huxley’s finest and most personal novels, now back in print in a Harper Perennial Modern Classics edition,Eyeless in Gazais the story of one man’s quest to find a meaningful life, which leads him from blind hedonism to political revolution to spiritual enlightenment.

Written at the height of his powers immediately afterBrave New World, Aldous Huxley's highly acclaimedEyeless in Gazais his most personal novel. Huxley's bold, nontraditional narrative tells the loosely autobiographical story of Anthony Beavis, a cynical libertine Oxford graduate who comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. Unfulfilled by his life, loves, and adventures, Anthony is persuaded by a charismatic friend to become a Marxist and take up arms with Mexican revolutionaries. But when their disastrous embrace of violence nearly kills them, Anthony is left shattered—and is forced to find an alternative to the moral disillusionment of the modern world.
