Aldous Leonard Huxley was born in the English countryside on 26 July 1894 to Leonard and Julia Huxley. He was their third child. His siblings were Julian, Trevenen and Margaret. Her father was the son of T. H. Huxley, a brilliant scientist, and her mother, Julia, was the great-granddaughter of Matthew Arnold, a poet-philosopher. He was unusual and brilliant but not immediately academically distinguished (Hara 4). His mother had started a school for girls and that is where Huxley began to blossom. In 1908 his mother died of cancer and told Huxley, “Don't be too critical of people and love very much” (Garrett 87). His academic career was cut short in 1911 when he contracted keratitis punctata (an eye disease). It left him blinded but he still stayed in school. He had two tutors, homework and Braille. In 1913 he stayed with his brother as his eyesight improved. He started traveling more when his father remarried (Garrett 87). Aldous wasn't looking for love, but he found it. He met Maria in 1915 and it was love at first sight. They married on July 10, 1919, and their son, Matthew, was born in 1920. He lived as a struggling writer. He published poems and essays which eventually led him to publish his first novel, in 1921, Crome Yellow. After this success Chatto gave Huxley his first three-year contract. He wrote four volumes of short stories, two essays, and two philosophical travel books, from 1922 to 1928. Huxley reached a much wider audience with his novel, Point Against Point, in 1928. His novel, Brave New World, did not become revered . until after World War II, because before the war people didn't know what to do with it. Huxley's novels cover a wide range of topics, earning him the name "novels of ideas". Huxley pushed his ...... middle of paper ...... towards a society obsessed with matter, based on wealth and power, which will not achieve human fulfillment, which can only come through self-understanding . This lifestyle is possible if people are open to change. Island is a fantasy with detailed, practical instructions for harmonizing European and Indian intuitions (173). It reflects rebellious youth seeking ecological principles. Island was a lasting and lasting testimony to who and what Huxley had become (177). Island is the synthesis of Huxley's beliefs; it is the essence of his soul. There was more deception than inspiration in Island. They are trying to realize human potential. Island is a “Third Way” book because the hero is an uncommitted but frustrated man. Furthermore, Huxley provides an explicit and implicit position of Pola. These two techniques are what constitute the novel as “Third Way”.
