Written at the height of his powers immediately after Brave New World, Aldous Huxley's highly acclaimed Eyeless in Gaza is his most personal novel. Huxley's bold, nontraditional narrative tells the loosely autobiographical story of Anthony Beavis, a cynical libertine Oxford graduate who comes of age in the vacuum left by World War I. Unfulfilled by his life, loves, and adventures, Anthony is persuaded by a charismatic friend to become a Marxist and take up arms with Mexican revolutionaries. But when their disastrous embrace of violence nearly kills them, Anthony is left shattered—and is forced to find an alternative to the moral disillusionment of the modern world.

"Whatever else remains to be said about it, 'Eyeless in Gaza' is the deepest, the most serious, and the most complete novel of [Huxley's] career."

William Troy, Nation, 07/11/1936

"Mr. Huxley is a superb artist in words, and he has something to say. There is no novelist alive whose next book should be awaited with more excitement."

Winfred E. Garrison, Christian Century, 10/14/1936
