ESSAY ON: Aldous Huxley/Island & Mysticism

Number of Pages 3

This research paper: A 3 page essay on Huxley's last novel. In his last major work, Island, A Novel (1962), Aldous Huxley purposefully combines Eastern and Western ideals to describe an island society that offers a possible template to the modern world for how to emerge from the dystopian culture of the mid-twentieth century. Ultimately, Huxley depicts his fictional scenario as unworkable because the forces of capitalism provide the proverbial "snake" in his Eden-like paradise of Pala. Nevertheless, Huxley's combining of Eastern mysticism with Western concepts is intriguing. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
