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. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aldous Huxley","offers":[{"title":"Trade Paperback","offer_id":55252423803171,"sku":"9780061724893","price":15.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0930\/2258\/5123\/files\/9780061724893.jpg?v=1781805642","url":"https:\/\/epicreads.com\/products\/eyeless-in-gaza-a-novel","provider":"Epic Reads","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
