The Razor's Edge

De: W. Somerset Maugham

Narrado por: Michael Page

A compelling novel of self-discovery and the search for meaning from the author of The Painted Veil.

The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

I have been in love with Larry for 60 years. It was delicious to revisit.

Thank you!

Thank you! The book recreated me very well and helped me to navigate through my own situations of big emotional challenge.

One of my favorite books, re-read after more than 40 years. Excellent writing, fascinating story, and efficient character development given its relatively short length. The narration is fine, but I wish that an Englishman able to adopt an American accent had been chosen.
