Malo požutela po obodu, veoma dobro očuvana.

In Twenties London, the writers, artists, wastrels and dilettantes who frequent Lady Edward Tantamount`s Pall Mall parties are permanently engaged in pushing forward the moral frontiers of the age. Marjorie Carling has left her family to live with the writer, Walter Bidlake; the luscious but cold-hearted Lucy Tantamount is set on devouring every man in sight; the repulsive Spandrell insists on entertaining everyone with his accounts of how he debauches young girls; and even Lady Tantamount herself, long tired of her husband and his unwavering devotion to the study of newts, has taken a lover – the fashionable painter and expert taker of virginities, John Bidlake. Only Rampion is left to maintain standards of decency in this increasingly degenerate world...

Often described as a Vanity Fair for the Twenties, `Point Counter Point` contains wickedly accurate portraits of D.H.Lawrence, Katherine Mansfield, Ottoline Morrell and Huxley himself.
