Publisher Description
Often ranked as one of rare classics by Maugham , the story of Larry Darrell, an American pilot traumatised by his experiences in World War I, who sets off in search of some transcendent meaning in his life. The story begins through the eyes of Larry’s friends and acquaintances as they witness his personality change after the War. His rejection of conventional life and search for meaningful experience allows him to thrive while the more materialistic characters suffer reversals of fortune.

The Razor’s Edge
As a reader I consider myself neither avid nor strong. This novel compelled my interest (though I’d care to spend no time with the characters personally) and stretched my vocabulary much more than the types of novels I’ve read recently. For that I am happy to have discovered it and will read it again.
