The Razor's Edge
W. Somerset Maugham
0 pages
Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of this spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brillant characters - his fiancee Isabel, whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliot Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. The most ambitious of Maugham's novels, this is also one in which Maugham himself plays a considerable part as he wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.
It's a quick read and one of my favorite books ever, making it a must-read for anyone looking for a captivating story.
A character-driven drama that remains entertaining and sensational, proving its timelessness.
Razor's Edge... Loafing.
