Produktbeschreibung

Mortal Coils is a collection of five short fictional pieces written by Aldous Huxley in 1921. 'The Gioconda Smile' is a mixture of social satire and murder story, which Huxley later adapted into a film called A Woman's Vengeance (1948). 'Permutations Among the Nightingales' is a play concerning the amorous problems encountered by various patrons of a hotel. 'The Tillotson Banquet' tells of an old artist who was thought to be dead, and is 'rediscovered'; a not entirely successful honorary dinner is organised for him. 'Green Tunnels' is about the boredom of a young girl on holiday with her family. She develops a romantic fantasy, and is ultimately disillusioned. 'Nuns at Luncheon' is a second-hand story told of a nun falling in love. The story mocks the writer's process, a concept Huxley used in his novel Crome Yellow.
