Somerset Maugham’s novel “The Razor’s Edge” is a masterpiece created by a great artist!
“The Razor’s Edge” is a genuine “school of manners” for European and American society at the beginning of the 20th century. Perhaps the novel gathers together the brightest characters ever to come out from Somerset Maugham’s pen. Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the meaning of life. Isabella is his fiancée, who will have to make a difficult choice between love and wealth, public opinion and the desire to live according to her own way. Elliott Templeton—an embodiment of snobbery—having risen from the bottom, now strictly follows the rules of high society.
