Synopsis

Sebastian Barnack, a young English schoolboy, finds his world expanding during a summer in Italy. He learns about spirituality from a saintly bookseller and worldly pleasures from his Uncle Eustace. Aldous Huxley blends ideas with story in this exploration of twentieth-century dilemmas, even featuring a dead atheist who tries to communicate from beyond the grave through a less-than-perfect medium.
