Publisher's Synopsis

Limbo is a novel written by Aldous Huxley and published in 1920. The story is set in London during the aftermath of World War I, and follows the lives of a group of young people who are struggling to find their place in a society that has been dramatically changed by the war. The main character, Denis Stone, is a young writer who is searching for inspiration for his next book. He becomes infatuated with a young woman named Anne, who is engaged to a wealthy businessman. As Denis becomes more and more obsessed with Anne, he begins to question his own beliefs and values, and is forced to confront the reality of his own life.The novel explores themes of love, desire, and the search for meaning in a world that has been shattered by war. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work that captures the mood of the post-war era, and offers a compelling portrait of a generation struggling to come to terms with the changes that have taken place in their world. Overall, Limbo is a beautifully written and deeply moving novel that offers a unique perspective on the aftermath of World War I and the challenges faced by a generation of young people trying to find their way in a world that has been forever changed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
