Island

Aldous Huxley's final novel takes us to an utterly remote island where an ideal society flourishes. Unexpectedly, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the outside world. A conspiracy is afoot to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when a shipwrecked newspaperman named Faranby—a cynical man with no faith in anything—is marooned on the island. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and give him hope.
