Deal Details
Various Retailers have Island by Aldous Huxley (eBook) on sale for $1.99.

Thanks to Deal Hunter phoinix for sharing this deal.

Available Retailers:About this title:
  • Page Length: 342 pages
  • The final novel from Aldous Huxley, Island is a provocative counterpoint to his worldwide classic Brave New World, in which a flourishing, ideal society located on a remote Pacific island attracts the envy of the outside world.
  • In Island, his last novel, Huxley transports us to a Pacific island where, for 120 years, an ideal society has flourished. Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala and events begin to move when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and -- to his amazement -- give him hope.

One of my favorite books by Huxley. Very readable and considerably more enjoyable to read than Brave New World.

Basically a treatise on how to build a utopia. The actual story is pretty much an afterthought.
