W. Somerset Maugham's greatest and most enduringly popular novel tells the story of Larry Darrell, an attractive and enigmatic American who forsakes the comforts of bourgeois society to live a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth and meaning. Larry's former fiancée is the beautiful and vivacious Isabel Maturin, who is struggling to maintain a family nearly destroyed by the Depression. He is also attracted to the lost, wanton Sophie Macdonald whose life he attempts to save from its downward spiral. In the midst of the drama stands Elliott Templeton, the irresistibly lovable arch-snob with a heart of gold—perhaps Maugham's greatest fictional creation. Spanning three continents and nearly half a century, The Razor's Edge marks the culmination of Maugham's storytelling craft. It is a deeply affecting, enormously readable classic that continues to draw readers of every generation.
