Those Barren Leaves is a satirical novel by Aldous Huxley published in 1925. It is the story of Mrs. Aldwinkle and her entourage, who are gathered in an Italian palace to relive the glories of the Renaissance. For all their supposed sophistication, they are nothing but sad and superficial individuals in the final analysis. (Summary by Krysti Paul)
