His novels are special in that they use a unique form - the novel of ideas - with which to satirize human nature and the pride regarding human achievement. Few readers of English literature are not acquainted with books like \u003ci\u003ePoint Counter Point\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eEyeless in Gaza, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e (novels dealt with in detail)\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e A proper study of Huxley's characterization in his novels opens up a veritable treasure-house of history, philosophy, psychology, and incisive satire. \"Characterology\", as the art of projecting different kinds of characters is called, is an ancient art, which either aimed at representing the entire universe in a single individual, or the same in a variegated form through various individuals. Huxley uses the latter kind in his representation of character, and as such, a study of the characters of his novels opens up a general interpretation of the universe as a whole. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Indrani Deb\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032232390\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032232393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.12lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.63d","brand":"Indrani Deb","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075493130495,"sku":"9781032232393","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fa2a0b2b-3d13-452b-999c-0b1941857cea.jpg?v=1685459749","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/living-with-monsters-indrani-deb-9781032232393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
