The Razor’s Edge
Maugham’s masterpiece follows Larry Darrell, a young American seeking meaning in a world shattered by war. Rejecting conventional society, Larry embarks on a spiritual odyssey that takes him from Paris to India. Meanwhile, his friends pursue wealth and status, only to find emptiness. With keen insight and dry wit, Maugham explores the tension between materialism and enlightenment, weaving a tale that’s both philosophical and deeply human. It’s a book that lingers, challenging readers to examine their own values long after the final page.
