Antic Hay

Riassunto

"Antic Hay" by Aldous Huxley is a novel published in 1923. Set in post-World War I London, it offers a biting satire of the aimless cultural elite adrift in turbulent times. The story follows Theodore Gumbril, a teacher who invents pneumatic cushion trousers while searching for love and meaning. To overcome his shyness with women, he adopts a bold disguise called "The Complete Man." Condemned for its cynicism and frank discussion of sex, the novel was banned in Australia and burned in Cairo.
