Description
Island by Aldous Huxley, published in 1962, presents an ideal imaginary world in contrast to the real one. The story follows a cynical journalist who, after a shipwreck, finds himself on Pala—an advanced, independent, and utopian island in the Indian Ocean. At first, his mission is to exploit the island’s natural resources, but everything changes as he becomes immersed in Palanese culture: their unique traditions, use of mind-expanding substances, and innovative social structures. These encounters transform his outlook and ultimately reshape his mission, revealing a thought-provoking vision of what a harmonious society could be.
