Crome Yellow
(eBook)
"Crome Yellow" revolves around the hapless love affair of Denis Stone, a naive young poet, who is invited to stay at Crome, the lovely country house in rural England, renowned for its gatherings of "bright young things". His hosts, Henry Wimbush and his exotic wife Priscilla, are joined by a party of outlandish guests whose intrigues and opinions ensure Denis's attempts to woo the young Anne Wimbush are met with every possible obstacle. The other guests include an artist, Gombauld, a hearing-impaired young lady who buries herself in books to avoid interacting with people, a pompous journalist, a cynic, a philanderer and a vicar and his wife. This bunch of characters thrown together and the events that follow their intermingling with each other, form the plot of the book. "Crome Yellow", first novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1921. The book is a social satire of the British literati in the period following World War I. Lambasting the post-Victorian standards of morality, it is a witty masterpiece.
