Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A Hollywood millionaire with a terror of death, whose personal physician happens to be working on a theory of longevity — these are the elements of Aldous Huxley's caustic and entertaining satire on man's desire to live indefinitely. With his customary wit and intellectual sophistication, Huxley pursues his characters in their quest for the eternal, finishing on a note of horror.

Review:

"[F]antastic, extravagant, crazy and preposterous....It is the kind of novel that [Huxley] is particularly the master of, where the most extraordinary and fortuitous events are followed by contemplative little essays on the meaning of life....The story is outrageously good." The New York Times

Review:

"A highly sensational plot that will keep astonishing you to practically the final sentence." The New Yorker

Review:

"Mr. Huxley's elegant mockery, his cruel aptness of phrase, the revelations and the ingenious surprises he springs on the reader are those of a master craftsman; Mr. Huxley is at the top of his form." London Times Literary Supplement
