“Counterpoint” (1928) is the largest work of Oldos Huxley, describing several months from the life of the intellectual London elite. There are no main characters or the main storyline. Like a musical counterpoint, which assumes a combination of two and more melodic votes, Roman Haxley is a interweaving of different destinies, a story about the personal life of many people, which one or another in the field of writing. They are found in cafes and restaurants, go to high society techniques, quarrel, gossip, and they are slander. There is no goal in all this – one meaningless polyphony. So Huxley looks at his contemporaries, and the current reader will probably hear many familiar voices in this choir.
