Crome Yellow

Crome YellowHuxley's first novelis famous for its technique, ideas and acute psychological descriptions. As such it ranks alongside Antic Hay, Eyeless in Gaza and Point Counter Point.The Times One of the greatest prose writers and social commentators of the 20th century, Aldous Huxley here introduces us to a delightfully cynical, comic and severe group of artists and intellectuals engaged in the most free-thinking and modern kind of talk imaginable. Poetry, occultism, ancestral history, and Italian primitive painting are just a few of the subjects competing for discussion among the amiable cast of eccentrics drawn together at Cromean intensely English country manor.
