Anthony Beavis, a cynical libertine Oxford graduate, comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. His life, loves, and foreign adventures leave him unfulfilled, until he meets a charismatic doctor who inspires Anthony to become a Marxist and join the Mexican revolution--a disastrous embrace of violence that leaves the doctor with one leg. Shattered by the experience, Anthony forges a new, quasi-Buddhist philosophy that embraces pacifism. EYELESS IN GAZA remains one of Huxley's most enduring novels, a testament to the challenges and rewards of bold, vigorous thinking.","brand":"Harper Perennial","offers":[{"title":"Used - good","offer_id":53288609972566,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9780061724893_1_cf869662-3387-46dd-b138-15e7c5fddbfe.jpg?v=1778600606","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/aldous-huxley-eyeless-in-gaza-9780061724893","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
