the novels Mr. Huxley wrote in the 40's take a different tone than the essays he was writing at the time. it is clear that fiction escapes him, although his flair for writing still shows. 'TIme must have a stop' is a strange combo between auto-biography and satire. It is not an exciting book like many of his others, often times I found myself losing attention. but not every novel an author writes can be great, although Aldous comes close. This one is only for hardccccore Huxley addicts, and those with a more analytical approach. ( )

Halfway through this satire I realized it was futile to view it as anything but entertainment. Huxley's wallowing in trifle and snobbery bowled him over. It is unfortunate that this wasn't just one novel in a string of many depicting the same characters, because a series of novels would have made for an elevated soap opera. I would surely have gone through the whole series with gusto. ( )

One of Huxley's odder books, though really, that's not saying much: all are odd, and few have the stamp of NORMALCY about them.

This starts off in standard Huxley dark comedy, and then turns to an afterlife story. Well worth reading. ( )

Opis książki

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0060830506, Paperback)

Sebastian Barnack, a handsome English schoolboy, goes to Italy for the summer, and there his real education begins. His teachers are two quite different men: Bruno Rontini, the saintly bookseller, who teaches him about things spiritual; and Uncle Eustace, who introduces him to life's profane pleasures.

The novel that Aldous Huxley himself thought was his most successful at "fusing idea with story," Time Must Have a Stop is part of Huxley's lifelong attempt to explore the dilemmas of twentieth-century man and to create characters who, though ill-equipped to solve the dilemmas, all go stumbling on in their painfully serious comedies (in this novel we have the dead atheist who returns in a seance to reveal what he has learned after death but is stuck with a second-rate medium who garbles his messages). Time Must Have a Stop is one of Huxley's finest achievements.
