First published in 1928). Real orgies are never so exciting as pornographic books.

First published in 1928). In a volume by Pierre Louys all the girls are young and their figures perfect; there's no hiccoughing or bad breath, no fatigue or boredom, no sudden recollections of unpaid bills or business letters unanswered, to interrupt the raptures. Art gives you the sensation, the thought, the feeling quite pure-chemically pure, I mean,' he had added with a laugh, 'not morally. But Epipsychidion isn't pornography,' Walter had objected. No, but it's equally pure from the chemist's point of view.

Aldous Huxley's lifelong concern with the dichotomy between passion and reason finds its fullest expression both thematically and formally in his masterpiece Point Counter Point. By presenting a vision of life in which diverse aspects of experience are observed simultaneously, Huxley characterizes the symptoms of "the disease of modern man" in the manner of a composer - themes and characters are repeated, altered slightly, and played off one another in a tone that is at once critical and sympathetic.

Very nice copy, with a cover! Thanks.

In Huxley's books, its not just the plot that captivates. Huxley's insights on society and people are so on target and so truthful, it's amazing. His ability to translate truth into words is incredible. Point Counterpoint is no exception:

"Work's no more respectable than alcohol, and it serves exactly the same purpose: it just distracts the mind, makes a man forget himself. Work's simply a drug, that's all. It's humiliating that men shouldn't be able to live without drugs, soberly; it's humiliating that they shouldn't have the courage to see the world and themselves as they really are."

"But there is in debauchery something so intrinsically dull, something so absolutely and hopelessly dismal, that it is only the rarest beings, gifted with much less than the usual amount of intelligence and much more than the usual intensity of appetite, who can go on actively enjoying a regular course of vice or continue actively to believe in its wickedness."

"But the very possession of a body is a cynical comment on the soul and all its ways. It is a piece of cynicism, however, which the soul must accept, whether it likes it or no."

If these statements strike you as surprisingly truthful, then Huxley is for you.

The theme of Point Counterpoint concerns the mind/body dichotomy, which I think is really interesting. It makes you think about yourself a little differently than you may be used to.

It's the second time that I am reading this book. I bought it after reading Ken Follet 2 books from his trilogy. They made me remember of this book. It's a wonderful book, better written than those of Follet. The way people think and act in the society is very accurate, you see human being from the inside, how we feel, think. I am sure we know a lot of the characters of this novel in the poeple we mingle with.

We love all of Aldous Huxley's books, how can they miss the target? Like Robin Hood, they split the first arrow dead center!

compelling Huxley

Very nteresting novel by a highly knowledgeable intelectual. "Modern readers" will find it outdated and probably will drop it, but still it's achallenge

Lesesshe
Good author and style almost classic not only fairly radical

First-rate satire with expansive intellectual horizons--beautifully written, a delight to read.
