About this book
Point Counter Point is Aldous Huxley's most ambitious novel, published in 1928, a wide portrait of English intellectual society between the wars. Huxley builds the book like a piece of music, cutting between many characters, among them the novelist Philip Quarles, the demagogue Everard Webley, scientists, lovers, and idlers, so that their ideas and lives play against one another like counterpointed themes. Through them he weighs reason against passion, science against faith, and the life of the mind against the life of the body, refusing to grant any of them an easy victory. Crowded, clever, and coldly brilliant, it is the fullest statement of his early vision. This free PDF and EPUB offers the complete novel.
