Overview

Point Counter Point is possibly Huxley's most ambitious and accomplished novel and the one that gave the greatest international fame, since it gives a literary form to the musical counterpoint, alternating simultaneous actions that advance in parallel and demonstrating that this is possible and works in a novel. It thus becomes the personal story of many characters that intersect. In a way, the novel recounts the life trajectory of Rampión, a character who shares some characteristics with the writer D.H. Lawrence, but it is a choral novel whose greatest merit is to be a faithful reflection of a society full of contradictions and injustices, the England of the interwar period.

About the Author

About The Author
Aldous Huxley trained at Eton and Oxford, made his name with his first predominantly satirical novels, but the success and critical attention came to him with Contrapunto, which was followed by Brave New World, perhaps his most famous work and without a doubt the most disturbing. He spent time writing film scripts in Hollywood, until he returned to the forefront with novels such as The Genius and the Goddess, Time Must Stop, Mono and Essence and The Island. He is also the author of influential essays, including The Perennial Philosophy, The Doors of Perception, New Visit to a Happy World or those gathered in If My Library Burns Tonight.
