Island is a welcome and in many ways unique addition to the select company of books-from Plato to now-that have presented, in imaginary terms, a coherent view of what society is not but might be. - New York Times Book ReviewThe final novel from Aldous Huxley, Island is a provocative work of utopian fiction and a counterpoint to his worldwide classic Brave New World, in which a flourishing, ideal society located on a remote Pacific island attracts the envy of the outside world.In the classic philosophical novel Huxley considered his most important, he transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years. Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesnt expect is how his time with the people of Pala will begin a spiritual journey that revolutionizes all his values and-to his amazement-give him hope.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51526403031328,"sku":"NEW0061561797","price":12.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71zv1NFS4qL.jpg?v=1777193560","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/island-harper-perennial-olive-editions-0061561797","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
