# Antic Hay - Hardcover

by **Aldous Huxley** (Author), **Mint Editions** (Contribution by)

**Portraying the revolving clash between class ideals, _Antic Hay_ is a stunning cultural critique on life in London circa 1923. With a sharp comedic edge, author Aldous Huxley delivers a novel of ideas aimed at characterizing the unsettling times following the end of World War I.**

With over-the-top characters, and ensuing brutish conversations, _Antic Hay_ doesn't follow a typical narrative arc. Huxley's work portrays a world entirely fabricated on gossip, lies, and one man's yearning for societal approval. Dripping with prose that brandished Huxley as somewhat of an iconoclast, _Antic Hay_ has been hailed as Huxley's first masterpiece, paving the way for books with even more controversial subject matter like that of his most popular novel, _Brave New World_.

With an eye-catching cover that mirrors the complexities of Huxley's world and a professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of _Antic Hay_ is both modern and readable. Also included is a new note about the author.
