About the book

Aldous Huxley's After Many a Summer Dies the Swan is a satirical novel about an ageing American millionaire obsessed with escaping death. His search for the secret of extreme longevity brings together scientists, scholars and ambitious dependants at his Californian estate. Huxley combines philosophical speculation, social satire and elements of the grotesque to examine mortality, wealth, scientific ambition and the desire to transcend the limits of human life.
