More about the book

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.

Některé Huxleyho nápady, třeba k fungování rodin nebo výchově, jsou hodně dobré, zajímalo by mě, jak dlouho Ostrov musel promýšlet.
