About the author
W. Somerset Maugham
1,542听books5,792听followersWilliam Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style.
His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in Of Human Bondage, Maugham became a qualified physician. But writing was his true vocation. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays.
Maugham wrote at a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and winning critical acclaim. In this context, his plain prose style was criticized as 'such a tissue of clich茅s' that one's wonder is finally aroused at the writer's ability to assemble so many and at his unfailing inability to put anything in an individual way.
During World War I, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service . He travelled all over the world, and made many visits to America. After World War II, Maugham made his home in south of France and continued to move between England and Nice till his death in 1965.
At the time of Maugham's birth, French law was such that all foreign boys born in France became liable for conscription. Thus, Maugham was born within the Embassy, legally recognized as UK territory.

Books like this, that I鈥檝e read so long ago in my past, come back even now to haunt me, like the lilting, plaintive refrain of an old Beatles Love song!
But I only started it in the mid-seventies. Even back then, working in soulless offices, I needed to replenish my heart in long, lingering draughts.
So how did I do that?
If you guessed by hanging around bookstores you nailed it!
There was a Centretown bookshop of irregular modern architectural design right at the hub of the nearby city - my wonderful Dad used to cuss and call it Confusion Square - a hub which would have been ironically termed the heart of the city.
Cause it wasn鈥檛.
Postmodern cities are quite heartless, as their great refabricator Henri Lefebvre used to say.
No: the heart of the city was its bookstores - this one, Classics (my fave chain back then) - and W.H. Smith, Coles, Prospero and later Chapters, all within that two- or three-block epicentre.
Books, as I say, replenish my heart. Always have - ever since that halcyon summer鈥檚 day in 1956, when I took up Jules Verne, after digesting my Dick & Jane book in Grade One - and finally discovering reading.
Since that time, books always seem to remind me of my Grandmother, whose literary spending habits were downright prodigal! And she got it from her hubby, my bibliophile Viennese Granddad...
And of course they both passed that on to Mom, the village librarian, and her beloved children.
Mom and Dad had (obliquely) introduced me to Maugham in 1957, I remember, and it was in the form of the then-popular Mr Maugham Himself, a late-life anthology in bite-sized chunks of reading.
Mom was a great admirer of his books!
And no, of course I didn鈥檛 actually Read Maugham back then, though my parents extolled his sophistication to the skies.
And THIS book, the Razor鈥檚 Edge, I never finished until I was 56.
I had just finished The Moon and Sixpence, which had left a foul taste on my mouth - but, no - I wasn鈥檛 about to give up so easily, because my parents swore by Maugham鈥檚 genius.
And I remembered The Razor鈥檚 Edge GLARING down at me from the top of my piano, unfinished, in 鈥�76:
鈥淩ead me! Read me!鈥� it had seemed to scream out.
And so, now, 30 years after that - having been burnt out in retirement, and being now browned off by my own disaster summed up in The Moon and Sixpence - I picked it up.
And I remembered then... that in my twenties I had thought its hero, Larry, was me!
Larry: the Good self I had almost lost along the way. At least that self was burned by years of passive, though conscientious objection to the Fire at the centre of our times.
And I remembered that I DESPISED myself in my naive twenties for my passive betrayal of that self...
Well, THIS time I loved the book.
It was so ME, it wasn鈥檛 funny.
For I was by now relearning my own version of the razor鈥檚 edge, my own straight and narrow path through the fire, and had been learning it since the nineties. Just like Larry.
Now, looking back 15 years later, I see the book started an amazing process of Platonic recollection in my soul...
Remembering all my lost beginnings and roads not taken, and straight paths discarded out of hand early on. And Virtues shrugged off as uncool.
A process that made me come to gradually understand, through Larry, my OWN SPIRITUAL ODYSSEY -
Its shaky conception; and
Its happy, Peace-filled conclusion.
Where I am NOW...
Thank Heaven - and many thanks to you, Larry, also.

In all big cities there are self-contained groups that exist without intercommunication, small worlds within a greater world that lead their lives, their members dependent upon one another for companionship, as though they inhabited islands separated from each other by an unnavigable strait. Of no city, in my experience, is this more true than of Paris.
4 陆 stars. I liked this book a lot. Much more than Maugham's , but not quite as much as .
The first person minor perspective works really well here. Maugham inserts himself into the story, but mostly exists as an observer and messenger, retelling the tales passed to him by Elliott, Larry, Isabel and others. I think this is one of the most interesting narrative structures-- we are still a part of the story, not looking down on it, but we are also an outsider peering in. It seems to be exactly the right amount of proximity and distance to suit me.
I also like Maugham best when he is fondly mocking human nature. Elliott has to be the most lovable snob I've ever had the pleasure of encountering. It is he that introduces the narrator to young couple, Larry and Isabel, and he isn't shy about his views on their impending marriage. In France, the only civilized country, Elliott says, Isabel would have the sense to marry Gray instead and take Larry as a lover.
Who could deny that Elliott, that arch-snob, was also the kindest, most considerate and generous of men?
The story is about the journey of all these characters as they each pursue their own personal goals. Elliott's goal being social eminence, Isabel's wealth and comfort, and Larry's - perhaps most interesting of all - enlightenment and self-understanding.
Larry is a fascinating character; a First World War veteran who comes back changed, but instead of responding to his brush with death by breaking down, he becomes curious about the world and people. He begins to care little for money and possessions, much to the chagrin of the affluent Americans around him. His need for understanding takes him across the world, finally landing him in India. Non-Western philosophy features a lot in Maugham's work, and here Brahmanism offers Larry a new perspective.
Maugham's narration is chock-full of witty remarks that are genuinely very funny and have withstood the test of time. As usual, art and literature feature heavily, as do snobbery, social interactions and character drama. It's almost soapy, except it's a little too sophisticated for that. (But only a little.)
鈥淎nd you call yourself an English gentlemen,鈥� she exclaimed, savagely.
鈥淣o, that鈥檚 a thing I鈥檝e never done in all my life.鈥�
I think I like Maugham so much because he's not particularly moralistic, and any character presenting themselves as holier-than-thou often gets a dressing down. His characters are alcoholics and prostitutes; they behave jealously and question religion. This is another reason I like Larry. For all his pursuit of understanding and rejection of material things, he remains non-judgmental of other characters.
I'll be back for more of Maugham. I've heard is another good one.

The best novel I've read since joining 欧宝娱乐 might be The Razor's Edge, the 20th century bestseller by prolific British playwright and author W. Somerset Maugham. Published in the U.S. in 1944. a bit of my euphoria has to do with the book; much of my intoxication has to do with the time in my life which I read this particular book. In 2016, I came into a creative stride, writing first drafts of a short story and a novella and completing the groundwork for the final draft of a novel. I started smoking a pipe. I'm learning to play chess. I started a new job which will finance A, B and C (pipe smoking and chess playing being modest luxuries but my new salary being modest as well).
I'm reading close to fifty novels a year and feel as if I've developed a palate for vivid storytelling, well-developed characters and disarming dialogue. Amid a lot of desire and confusion, The Razor's Edge put a customs stamp on these passages in my life. It's the story of six characters--not including Maugham, who includes himself as a seventh character and our reliable narrator--who progress from acquaintances to friends to intimates in all the aspects that matter in the end. Like compelling characters in all great dramas, or all chess pieces, each has a measurable affect on the other while at their core, remain true to their disparate natures to the end.
The story begins in Chicago immediately following the First World War in 1919 and concludes in Paris immediately before the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939. The worlds that Maugham explores are not geopolitical so much as they are spiritual. His six unforgettable characters might as well be on an island together. Stopping in Chicago on his way to the Far East, Maugham crosses paths with Elliott Templeton, an acquaintance of fifteen years, an American living abroad whose expertise as a broker in fine art has allowed him to ingratiate himself in English and French high society, where the elegant bachelor lives and breathes for event planning and cultivating social relationships.
They were afraid he was a snob. And of course he was. He was a colossal snob. He was a snob without shame. He would put up with any affront, he would ignore any rebuff, he would swallow any rudeness to get asked to a party he wanted to go to or make a connection with some crusty old dowager of great name. He was indefatigable. When he had fixed his eye on his prey he hunted it with the persistence of a botanist who will expose himself to dangers of flood, earthquake, fever, and hostile natives to find an orchid of peculiar rarity.
Elliott is in Chicago visiting his sister when he invites Maugham to a luncheon at her home on Lake Shore Drive. There, the Englishman meets Elliott's niece Isabel Bradley, a tall, radiant twenty-year old of natural elegance who makes quite an impression on Maugham. He also meets Isabel's boyfriend, Laurence Darrell, a pleasant looking but shy boy who goes by "Larry" and impresses the narrator with how effortlessly he seems to take part in conversations without ever uttering a word. It is later revealed that Larry was an aviator in the war and has recently returned from Europe. To the mounting insecurity of Isabel's mother and uncle, the boy has turned down offers for work.
Accepting a dinner invitation from Elliott at his sister's the following evening, Maugham is seated next to a drab seventeen year old girl whose shyness belies shrewdness and intelligence; the playwright gets her to open up by asking her who everyone else at the table is and much later in the book, will come to know this doomed girl as Sophie Macdonald. She introduces Maugham to Gray Maturin, son of a millionaire investment banker in Chicago who is as virile and strong as Larry is puny and unassuming. The worst kept secret in the room is that Gray is enamored with Isabel, but won't dare make an advance or stand a chance as long as Larry is in the picture.
Uncle Elliott is of the opinion that Larry won't amount to much and that his niece would be advantaged marrying a man of position and fortune. He tells his sister that if the young people had the civility of the French, Isabel would marry Gray and take Larry as her lover, while Gray offered himself as benefactor to a prominent actress and everyone could be happy. Maugham holds a higher impression of Larry and finding him in a library reading Principles of Psychology, learns the veteran has rejected college as summarily as he has a career. Larry challenges the Englishman's assertion that university would prepare him to make fewer mistakes by stating that making mistakes is how he might learn something.
I was butting into an affair that was no concern of mine, but I had a notion that just because I was a stranger from a foreign country Larry was not disinclined to talk to me about it.
"Well, you know when people are no good at anything else they become writers," I said, with a chuckle.
"I have no talent."
"Then what do you want to do?"
He gave me his radiant, fascinating smile.
"Loaf," he said.
I had to laugh.
Isabel lures Larry on a picnic where she reads him the riot act: She loves him but believes that a man must work, as a matter of self-respect. Larry tells Isabel that he loves her too, but that money just doesn't interest him. Being a pilot gave him time to think, and watching his friend in the air corps sacrifice himself for Larry has led him to the choice of leaving America and searching for his own answers. Larry visited Paris several times on leave and knowing no one there, finds the city as good a place as any to begin his sabbatical. Giving himself a year or two at the most, he compels Isabel to wait for him.
The following year, Maugham is in Montparnasse when he spots Larry sitting by himself at a caf茅. He's elusive with the Englishman, except to tell him that he's looking forward to spending time with Isabel when she visits with her mother next spring. Reunited with his fianc茅e, Larry tells her that he's been reading, attending lectures and studying Greek. He wants to know whether God is or is not. Money still doesn't interest him, he's given no thought of returning to Chicago and when he asks Isabel to marry him and live with him in Paris, the couple mutually choose to end their engagement, remaining friends instead.
Intersecting Elliott or Isabel or Larry over the years in his travels across France, through the Roaring Twenties and the Great Depression and the march toward world war, Maugham chronicles Elliott's strive for social imminence, Isabel's desire for fortune and community and Larry's pursuit of happiness, a journey which takes the loafer to a coal mine in France, a Benedictine monastery in Germany and an Ashrama in India. Maugham introduces one more unforgettable character: Suzanne Rouvier, mutual friend of the narrator and of Larry who came to Montmartre from the countryside without a penny, but realized her facility as a model and artist's muse.
For by now she knew her value. She liked the artistic life, it amused her to pose, and after the day's work was over she found it pleasant to go to the caf茅 and sit with painters, their wives and mistresses, while they discussed art, reviled dealers, and told bawdy stories. On this occasion, having seen the break coming, she had made her plans. She picked out a young man who was unattached and who, she thought, had talent. She chose her opportunity when he was alone at the caf茅, explained the circumstances, and without further preamble suggested they should live together.
"I'm twenty and a good housekeeper. I'll save you money there and I'll save you the expense of a model. Look at your shirt, it's a disgrace, and your studio is a mess. You need a woman to look after you."
He knew she was a good sort. He was amused at her proposal and she saw he was inclined to accept.
I feel the same way about The Razor's Edge that millions feel about The Lord of the Rings. Maugham's narration is as imaginative, incisive and delectable as Tolkien's, his dialogue as fanciful and his ability to create worlds within words as ingenious, but rather than transport the reader on a physical journey through an outer world, sets out across the landscape of the soul. The trick of the novel is that rather than come off as preachy with counterfeit messages (like Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist), the book is character driven, and the only philosophy in it is what the author observes from the characters and their decisions. It's a real story.
Casting himself as a relatively successful playwright and author who is neither owner or worker and whose gift is listening unobtrusively to either social class, Maugham's storytelling is boozy with passion and wit. There were moments when his male gaze over Isabel raised my eyebrow, but overwhelmingly, the writing felt as contemporary or vital as any written in recent years. Humor, tension and sensuality were equally strong throughout. My travels have not been anywhere near as extension as the author's, but I have met people a little like each of his six major characters. Their desires and limitations all felt palpable and after finishing the book, I'm a lot less apt to judge them.
Two of my favorite sub-genres or topics are The Open Road and The Bum. My favorite author John Steinbeck's work is strong with the allure of both of these and so is The Razor's Edge. I like to think that most people fantasize about walking away from the daily grind to see the world, reading, learning another language or just staring at the clouds. This has a greater hold on me than dragons or orcs and Maugham took me from the world of business and politics off the beaten path to the world of faith with a masterful facility that will be with me for a while. In my mind, Larry, Isabel and Suzanne are still out there, somewhere, and so is this perfect book.
It is very difficult to know people and I don't think one can ever really know any but one's own countrymen. For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.
Maugham's work has lent itself well to film or television and The Razor's Edge has been adapted to screen twice. In 1946, 20th Century Fox mounted a production starring Tyrone Power as Larry, Gene Tierney as Isabel, Clifton Webb as Elliott and (winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress) Anne Baxter as Sophie. In 1984, Columbia Pictures produced a little-seen remake starring Bill Murray as Larry, Catherine Hicks as Isabel, Denholm Elliott as Elliott and Theresa Russell as Sophie. Murray--who's always entertained an aloof professional manner--went on a loafing-like hiatus as a film leading man for four years following the release of the picture.
I'm reading close to fifty novels a year and feel as if I've developed a palate for vivid storytelling, well-developed characters and disarming dialogue. Amid a lot of desire and confusion, The Razor's Edge put a customs stamp on these passages in my life.

She liked the artistic life, it amused her to pose, and after the day's work was over she found it pleasant to go to the caf茅 and sit with painters, their wives and mistresses, while they discussed art, reviled dealers, and told bawdy stories. On this occasion, having seen the break coming, she had made her plans. She picked out a young man who was unattached and who, she thought, had talent. She chose her opportunity when he was alone at the caf茅, explained the circumstances, and without further preamble suggested they should live together.
"I'm twenty and a good housekeeper. I'll save you money there and I'll save you the expense of a model. Look at your shirt, it's a disgrace, and your studio is a mess. You need a woman to look after you."
He knew she was a good sort. He was amused at her proposal and she saw he was inclined to accept.
I feel the same way about The Razor's Edge that millions feel about The Lord of the Rings. Maugham's narration is as imaginative, incisive and delectable as Tolkien's, his dialogue as fanciful and his ability to create worlds within words as ingenious, but rather than transport the reader on a physical journey through an outer world, sets out across the landscape of the soul. The trick of the novel is that rather than come off as preachy with counterfeit messages (like Paulo Coelho's The Alchemist), the book is character driven, and the only philosophy in it is what the author observes from the characters and their decisions. It's a real story.
Casting himself as a relatively successful playwright and author who is neither owner or worker and whose gift is listening unobtrusively to either social class, Maugham's storytelling is boozy with passion and wit. There were moments when his male gaze over Isabel raised my eyebrow, but overwhelmingly, the writing felt as contemporary or vital as any written in recent years. Humor, tension and sensuality were equally strong throughout. My travels have not been anywhere near as extension as the author's, but I have met people a little like each of his six major characters. Their desires and limitations all felt palpable and after finishing the book, I'm a lot less apt to judge them.
Two of my favorite sub-genres or topics are The Open Road and The Bum. My favorite author John Steinbeck's work is strong with the allure of both of these and so is The Razor's Edge. I like to think that most people fantasize about walking away from the daily grind to see the world, reading, learning another language or just staring at the clouds. This has a greater hold on me than dragons or orcs and Maugham took me from the world of business and politics off the beaten path to the world of faith with a masterful facility that will be with me for a while. In my mind, Larry, Isabel and Suzanne are still out there, somewhere, and so is this perfect book.
It is very difficult to know people and I don't think one can ever really know any but one's own countrymen. For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.
Maugham's work has lent itself well to film or television and The Razor's Edge has been adapted to screen twice. In 1946, 20th Century Fox mounted a production starring Tyrone Power as Larry, Gene Tierney as Isabel, Clifton Webb as Elliott and (winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress) Anne Baxter as Sophie. In 1984, Columbia Pictures produced a little-seen remake starring Bill Murray as Larry, Catherine Hicks as Isabel, Denholm Elliott as Elliott and Theresa Russell as Sophie. Murray--who's always entertained an aloof professional manner--went on a loafing-like hiatus as a film leading man for four years following the release of the picture.

(Book 570 From 1001 Books) - The Razor鈥檚 Edge 鈥� William Somerset Maugham
The Razor's Edge is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. The book was first published in 1944.
It tells the story of Larry Darrell, an American pilot traumatized 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 book was twice adapted into film, first in 1946 starring Tyrone Power and Gene Tierney, and Herbert Marshall as Maugham and Anne Baxter as Sophie, and then a 1984 adaptation starring Bill Murray.

Oh, Mr. Maugham, there are moments when I love you so much I could burst. Moments when I wish there were a six star rating, so I could put it into your hands and say "I got that part and it resonated with me." Moments when I want to say, "enough of that, get back to the story", only to find That is the story, That is the heart.
This novel made me wish to live in the post WWI twenties and have endless possibilities open to me. It made me examine the life I have lived and wonder if I couldn't have gotten more out of it if I had been bolder or less worried.
It's strange how many people suffer from it (fear). I don't mean fear of closed spaces and fear of heights, but fear of death and, what's worse, fear of life. Often they're people who seem in the best of health, prosperous, without any worry, and yet they're tortured by it. I've sometimes thought it was the most besetting humour of men, and I asked myself at one time if it was due to some deep animal instinct that man has inherited from that primeval something that first felt the thrill of life.
How any things have I not done in life because I was afraid to try them? More than a few I can remember. Here at the end, I wish I had been braver, bolder and, yes, a little crazier.
This is surely amongst the best, if not the best, of Maugham's works I have found so far. By inserting himself into the novel, he makes it seem so vital and real, and even while understanding it as a contrivance, it lends these characters heft and weight and importance. For each of them, life is about choices and one has to question which of these characters is the most fulfilled. In the end we are told they all got what they wanted, but did they? Eliot wants to be very important, but is he? Does anyone truly want death? Should we choose security over adventure and love? Is a higher truth worth striving for? Can a man ever identify and know God?
The Maugham who is a character in this book is only an observer, no wiser than the others, unable to give us the answers and willing to accept the failures. The Maugham who wrote this book is wise and savvy and enlightened. He knows. This book is like an onion. I kept peeling it back to find another layer, and another layer, and a layer deeper even than that.
Unless love is passion, it's not love, but something else, and passion thrives not on satisfaction, but on impediment. What d'you suppose Keats meant when he told the lover on his Grecian urn not to grieve? 'Forever wilt thou love, and she be fair!' Why? Because she was unattainable, and however madly the lover pursued she still eluded him.
Perhaps true knowledge is as unattainable as love, always more to know, always another place to seek in, always a little out of our reach. In the hands of God, who might reveal it to us at the moment of our deaths or might send us back to strive again and again until we have gotten it right.

It took me a long time to read this beautiful and excellent book. I took time because every sentence deserves to be read carefully. Subtle prose, sought after in its simplicity, serves this purpose.
The stories are complete. They demonstrate how each life carries a greater or lesser share of tragedy and ridicule; happiness cannot be an exact science. However, it is happy that each has its definition: it can hide in futility like the Absolute. They also allow you to position yourself facing each character described in this beautiful, lovely book.

ASPRO IL CAMMINO VERSO LA SALVEZZA
Il primo film dal romanzo di Maugham 猫 del 1946, due anni dopo la pubblicazione. A giudicare dalla foto, le montagne sono ricostruite e dipinte in studio.
Per alcuni (molti) il romanzo migliore di Maugham. Di sicuro il suo pi霉 celebre.
Per me un鈥檃ltra occasione per Maugham di dimostrare quanto bene sappia scrivere storie emozionanti. Come se fosse la cosa pi霉 semplice e naturale del mondo.
Per lui.
Il film fu diretto da Edmund Goulding, Tyrone Power era Larry, con una decina d鈥檃nni in pi霉, e Gene Tierny era Isabel.
Sembra il romanzo di Elliot, vecchio snob, che si preoccupa solo di feste mondanit脿 e posizione sociale: ma nel profondo nasconde la consapevolezza di non poter mostrare il suo vero io, ben pi霉 umano e compassionevole di quanto appaia, perch茅 circondato da un ambiente superficiale e 鈥榖orghese鈥�.
Ma sembra anche il romanzo di Isabel, nipote di Elliot, la quale appare davvero innamorata di Larry, ma non riesce ad aspettarlo: e soprattutto non sa rinunciare a lusso e agi. Perci貌 sposer脿 un uomo che non ama, ma sapr脿 garantirle quel tenore di vita cui lei tiene tanto. E passer脿 il resto della sua vita a rimpiangere Larry.
E non 猫 neppure il romanzo di Gray che sposer脿 Isabel, nemmeno quello di Sophie o di Suzanne Rouvier鈥�
In piedi a sn Herbert Marshall che interpreta W. Somerset Maugham. Seduto a sn Clifton Webb che 猫 lo zio Elliot. Al centro Anne Baxter nel ruolo di Sophie, per il quale vinse l鈥橭scar come migliore attrice non protagonista.
In verit脿, 猫 il romanzo di Larry. 脠 lui il vero protagonista. Quello che cammina sul filo del rasoio.
脠 difficile camminare sul filo del rasoio; cos矛, dice il saggio, 猫 aspro il cammino verso la salvezza.
Cos矛 recita l鈥檈pigrafe presa dalle Upanishad.
Larry 猫 giovane, bello, intelligente, affascinante, ricco. Ma 猫 stato aviatore nella Grande Guerra, ha visto da vicino l鈥檕rrore, ha visto morire un suo compagno per salvargli la vita. Un trauma che non riesce a superare, non riesce a tornare alla vita di prima, a quella che lo aspetterebbe (e gli spetterebbe) sposando Isabel.
Ha bisogno di cercare l鈥檌lluminazione, una regola di vita che gli soddisfi la testa e il cuore, e ha bisogno di cercare se stesso.
La sua ricerca lo porta a camminare sul filo del rasoio perch茅 猫 aspro il cammino verso la salvezza.

Il primo film dal romanzo di Maugham 猫 del 1946, due anni dopo la pubblicazione. A giudicare dalla foto, le montagne sono ricostruite e dipinte in studio.
Per alcuni (molti) il romanzo migliore di Maugham. Di sicuro il suo pi霉 celebre.
Per me un鈥檃ltra occasione per Maugham di dimostrare quanto bene sappia scrivere storie emozionanti. Come se fosse la cosa pi霉 semplice e naturale del mondo.
Per lui.
Il film fu diretto da Edmund Goulding, Tyrone Power era Larry, con una decina d鈥檃nni in pi霉, e Gene Tierny era Isabel.
Sembra il romanzo di Elliot, vecchio snob, che si preoccupa solo di feste mondanit脿 e posizione sociale: ma nel profondo nasconde la consapevolezza di non poter mostrare il suo vero io, ben pi霉 umano e compassionevole di quanto appaia, perch茅 circondato da un ambiente superficiale e 鈥榖orghese鈥�.
Ma sembra anche il romanzo di Isabel, nipote di Elliot, la quale appare davvero innamorata di Larry, ma non riesce ad aspettarlo: e soprattutto non sa rinunciare a lusso e agi. Perci貌 sposer脿 un uomo che non ama, ma sapr脿 garantirle quel tenore di vita cui lei tiene tanto. E passer脿 il resto della sua vita a rimpiangere Larry.
E non 猫 neppure il romanzo di Gray che sposer脿 Isabel, nemmeno quello di Sophie o di Suzanne Rouvier鈥�
In piedi a sn Herbert Marshall che interpreta W. Somerset Maugham. Seduto a sn Clifton Webb che 猫 lo zio Elliot. Al centro Anne Baxter nel ruolo di Sophie, per il quale vinse l鈥橭scar come migliore attrice non protagonista.
In verit脿, 猫 il romanzo di Larry. 脠 lui il vero protagonista. Quello che cammina sul filo del rasoio.
脠 difficile camminare sul filo del rasoio; cos矛, dice il saggio, 猫 aspro il cammino verso la salvezza.
Cos矛 recita l鈥檈pigrafe presa dalle Upanishad.
Larry 猫 giovane, bello, intelligente, affascinante, ricco. Ma 猫 stato aviatore nella Grande Guerra, ha visto da vicino l鈥檕rrore, ha visto morire un suo compagno per salvargli la vita. Un trauma che non riesce a superare, non riesce a tornare alla vita di prima, a quella che lo aspetterebbe (e gli spetterebbe) sposando Isabel.
Ha bisogno di cercare l鈥檌lluminazione, una regola di vita che gli soddisfi la testa e il cuore, e ha bisogno di cercare se stesso.

Tracing the intimate lives of representative British and American upper class, The Razor's Edge, set in Chicago, largely in Paris, and also India, was one of the first Western novels to explore non-Western solutions to society鈥檚 ills. Larry Darrell maybe seen as the protagonist, but Maugham, who is himself a character in the book, only focuses on Larry occasionally and provides little insight to this man, who, early on, declares he simply wants to loaf until it becomes clear to him what he wants out of life. I would even go as far as to say he is completely overshadowed by the other characters: Maugham as the partially-omniscient narrator, clearly more interested in other people's relationships than his own, the rich Chicago matron Bradley, the sharp-witted daughter Isabel, the old financier Maturin, and his dull-witted son Gray. Yet it's Larry who remained strongest in my mind after the closing pages. Whilst parts of the novel, especially in Paris, had me thinking of Fitzgerald and Hemingway, in terms of the drinks flowing, the cocktail parties, the restaurants and the scintillating conversations, Maugham's novel I found to be much deeper, and far more profound.
The novel opens with Maugham admitting his apprehension at writing a novel that doesn't have a clear ending, but regardless what readers read into that, in the end, The Razor's Edge delivers a compelling and thoroughly engaging narrative.
Larry, who is a sensitive, intelligent young man refuses to conform to the prevailing social norms of America after the Great War, and instead of wedding a rich, pretty Chicago girl, he starts a vagabond quest searching for answers to questions about man, God, and the meaning of life. This would first involve travelling to Paris, which would eventually lead to stops in Germany, Spain and more importantly, India. With the latter destination finally answering some of his questions through the teachings of Eastern spiritual men, in particular an influential holy man Larry discovers who is clearly Ramana Maharshi, as described by Maugham (he himself visited Ramana's ashram on a journey to India in 1938).
His former fianc茅e, Isabel, marries Gray for financial security rather than love, and still holds Larry close to her heart, but is completely baffled by the way he chooses to now, with little money, live his life. They would meet up again, but as completely different people.
Long conversations that drive the novel's narrative is clearly one of Maugham's greatest assets here, and with his elitist friend Elliott, the opportunistic French artist Suzanne Rouvier, and tragic addict Sophie, with whom Larry would fall in love, Maugham gives the lesser characters that drop in and out of the novel important roles that do in fact shape the story.
Unsurprising to me, The Razor's Edge became one of the biggest-selling books of Maugham's career, and I doubt I'd read a better one. I only wish I got to read at least fifty pages at a time, as reading in smaller chunks, which ultimately I had to, it was difficult to find a suitable place to stop, sometimes making it a bummer to pick up again right in the middle of a conversation. It's a novel that would fully benefit being read with the least amount of breaks possible. Other than that, The Razor's Edge was one of the best novels I've read in 2019. Off the top of my head, I can't think of anything negative to say, so it's two big thumbs up to Maugham!

This has to be the most endearing and accessible of Maugham's books. With the right smattering of philosophy and literary techniques to keep one challenged too.
It has been one of the defining books in my life.

In 1919 war hero Larry (Laurence) Darrell returns to his hometown of Chicago, wounded twice, the brave aviator, has a deeper injury which changes him considerably. A comrade saved his life but lost his, over France, dying on the cold ground. Isabel Bradley, Larry's faithful fiancee notices the alteration .When his best friend Gay Maturin, gets his millionaire father Henry to offer his pal a good job. Darrell turns it down, he doesn't want to sell bonds, who does ? Still you can make a lot of lovely money, in the roaring
era of wealth, naturally some acceptable dissipation occurs by hungry men, for the mighty dollar . W.Somerset Maugham the famous British author is visiting the windy city ( yes, he the novelist puts himself in the story) . Another of his books, "The Moon and Sixpence", has just been published and is an unexpected bestseller. Doing interviews with the local newspapers, Maugham gets an invitation to have lunch with Elliott Templeton, an old friend and Isabel's rich uncle. Elliott lives in Paris and comes home to see his family, Maugham the great writer, resides mostly in France too. Mr.Templeton is a big snob and proud of it, he nevertheless surprisingly... also a kind man, loves High Society and thinks Paris is the only place to live. Later Maugham has dinner with all the main characters, at Isabel's mother's home, Elliott's sister (the author insists that this is a true story, we will never know for sure). Sophie, Isabel's childhood friend, talks to the writer, a shy teenager. She is in love with Larry and Gay with Isabel, Sophie, Isabel and Larry, all have known each other since they were children in school. Everyone there tells the veteran, be smart, be a man and sell bonds...Larry is suffering from war shock... one of the many names, which future wars will apply different labels to, this tragic illness. Not strangely however but understandable, the former intrepid pilot has seen plenty...
enough gore, and never glorious death, for anyone to stomach in a lifetime...instead...
just wants to loaf. After joining up in Canada, the air corps in France, at seventeen ( he's now 20), in the unmourned, horrific, bloody long ago conflict, 100 years old in the past...
now decides to go back to Paris for two years, to forget and live on his small inheritance. Explaining to the not very understanding Isabel,"The Dead look so terribly dead when they're dead". Many years after, they all will meet again, in a seedy Paris nightclub, Larry roams the world and looks like a bum, trying to find a reason for life. Takes a job as a coal miner, for the experience, stays at a monastery for months, seeing if inner peace can be achieved there, of course it probably never does. Even visits faraway, exotic India, and a famous, charismatic Yogi. Saintliness, is how Larry describes the man in a loincloth, however can Darrell ever find the happiness he desperately seeks ? A book for the adventurous, not of the lands of the Earth, but a bigger territory...the mind.

This is a book with an unexpected plot but the idea is not new. Most people 'sleep' all their lives, live and move like robots, participate in the vanity fair and behave exactly as expected from them. Others are often woken up by some traumatizing experience and suspect that there is something more, they look for the meaning of life, for God, for true happiness. And this is when they discover the the Eastern culture with its philosophy...
(I really envied the main character who could afford to spend four (!) years in Paris just reading voraciously and enjoying this magnificent city.)
'Nothing in the world is permanent, and we鈥檙e foolish when we ask anything to last, but surely we鈥檙e still more foolish not to take delight in it while we have it. If change is of the essence of existence one would have thought it only sensible to make it the premise of our philosophy.'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'It is very difficult to know people and I don't think one can ever really know any but one's own countrymen. For men and women are not only themselves; they are also the region in which they are born, the city apartment or the farm in which they learnt to walk, the games they played as children, the old wives' tales they overheard, the food they ate, the schools they attended, the sports they followed, the poets they read, and the God they believed in. It is all these things that have made them what they are, and these are the things that you can't come to know by hearsay, you can only know them if you have lived them.鈥�
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'The fact that a great many people believe something is no guarantee of its truth.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'American women expect to find in their husbands a perfection that English women only hope to find in their butlers.'
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'Unless love is passion, it's not love, but something else; and passion thrives not on satisfaction, but on impediment.'

In Asian countries, the custom of 鈥渉ome leaving鈥� is not as common as it used to be, but it is ingrained in the culture deeply enough that it鈥檚 not yet considered weird. Home-leaving essentially means literally leaving your home, but also your secular life, in order to go on a spiritual journey, maybe even go live in a monastery and take vows and be ordained. There is no equivalency to this custom in Western civilization: usually, people who leave everything behind to go look for the meaning of life are considered to be a little crazy (or cashing in on the trendiness of mindfulness and enlightenment). As a culture, we鈥檝e actually gotten a bit cynical about it, and with reason. But that quest can certainly be genuine, and the cultural bias against it probably intimidates a lot of people who could greatly benefit from giving it all up for a while and trying to see beyond the world they were raised in.
This simple yet astonishingly layered novel by Mr. Maugham is about a man who goes on such a quest, maybe one of the first 鈥渨hite dude goes to India to look for the meaning of life鈥� story in English literature. I didn鈥檛 know anything about the plot before I picked it up, and I鈥檓 going to try and not give anything away in this review because I am sure that experiencing this novel with as few expectations as possible is the best way to experience it.
Larry is a smart and sensitive but directionless young man. After a traumatizing experience in service during WWI, he comes back to the United States incapable of fitting into the societal mold his guardian and fianc茅e try to force him in. He can鈥檛 go back to school or get a job. He doesn鈥檛 quite fit in with his old crowd either, they seem preoccupied by things that make no sense to him, like marriage, money, social status 鈥� and none of them understand why he won鈥檛 try to cash in on the wonderful potential he has to be an early 20th century American success. Larry鈥檚 aimlessness eventually leads him to leave his lovely fianc茅e Isabel behind as he goes off to Europe, and eventually Asia to quench what we recognize today as a spiritual need that his society cannot satisfy. Dejected, Isabel marries Gray, an old friend she has affection but no passion for, and it will be years before she crosses Larry鈥檚 path again. Their story is told to us directly by Maugham, who in a very post-modern manner, makes himself a part of his narrative: he meets Larry and Isabel through his friend, the charming but inveterate snob Elliot Templeton, and crosses paths with them many times through years and travels, and they catch him up on their lives with each encounter. This makes the book feel like a quiet and introspective study of human emotions through the lens of friendly gossip, peppered liberally with Maugham鈥檚 amazing wit and delightful prose.
While I was reading 鈥淭he Razor鈥檚 Edge鈥�, I caught myself thinking that this is a book for grown-ups. Not because it has dirty stuff in it, though the characters talk quite frankly about sex, for a novel published in the 40s, but because I don鈥檛 think the events it describes could be empathized with by teenagers. Heartbreaking and life-changing decisions such as the ones made by Larry, Isabel, Gray and Sophie are the kind that gives adulthood its true meaning. Leaving someone you are still in love with, understanding that the weight of your responsibility is greater than your personal satisfactions, dreading irrelevancy in other people鈥檚 lives, grieving until your own welfare doesn鈥檛 matter... That is some grown-up stuff.
I was very interested in Larry鈥檚 musings about religion, God and the meaning of life, as well as our place in it. His perspective and interrogations echo my own thoughts on those subjects, and it was fascinating to read those words, written more than 70 years ago because they felt very fresh, very modern and very relevant. I do believe that it is important to think critically about your own culture and to be constantly curious until you can find something that makes sense to you.
Maugham鈥檚 work never ceases to amaze me, and each of his novels that I have read has taken me to an unexpected and deeply affecting place. I am starting to think that no one does characters just like he did, because seldom to I encounter characters that are so human, so flawed, so tragically real 鈥� and who鈥檚 struggle cracks my heart like an egg. But most importantly, his characters are beautifully layered confections 鈥� that may or may not be real people, and the beauty of the way they are written is that you can鈥檛 help but feel deep compassion for them: they may not be great people, but you never get a sense that he looks down on them, that their immoral actions are held against them or judged. Sophie鈥檚 terrible downward spiral and relapse are described with shocking frankness, but the reaction Maugham teases out of the reader is not disgust, but sadness and an urge to grab the poor woman and give her a hug and a helping hand.
This was a wonderful read, subtle, funny and bittersweet. I absolutely loved it.

A Timeless, stirring drama, scaling the heights of ecstasy to the dregs of utter despair.
Larry Darrell is a likable fellow, engaged to young socialite, Isabel Bradley. Larry goes off to war, but returns a changed man. He breaks his engagement to Isabel and leaves his former life behind, and sets off on a series of spiritual quests. (My teen self fell in love with the ideal that was Larry Darrell!)
Larry Darrell was as close to Nirvana as a human could be, according to the narrator in this story. I just saw Larry as a simple, decent person who took life as it came and made the best of things, refusing to be sucked into the sham that was success and social status.
There were a few somewhat decent movie adaptations of this book, but I was totally upset when comedian Bill Murray was cast in the part of the luminous Larry Darrell. Talk about miscasting: it put Larry in a totally foolish, bumbling light! Catherine Hicks and Theresa Russell were excellent as Isabel and the tragic Sophie.
Sophie's character stayed with me long after I finished this story: in the beginning, she had the perfect life. But her happiness would be painfully fleeting: she lost her adoring husband and sweet little baby in an accident and turned to alcohol and drugs to dull her pain. Maugham described her fall from the sublime to the dregs so eloquently and with such moving compassion.
This was a stirring melodrama that often had me on the edge of my seat. I didn't know what to make of the ending, but I was so very young at the time. Now, I would just turn the page, sigh, and say: such a thrilling life! Highly recommended!

I didn't love it as much as I expected. The premise that Eastern philosophy has something to offer us in the West just isn't as novel as when this book was originally published. Maugham's description of upper crust society in Paris is bitchy and wonderfully astute at times. But, like most authors, he found it easier to describe the sinners than the saints. Larry Darrell, the saint of this book, just doesn't seem human or interesting. He and his quest for enlightenment and/or belief in God are one big yawnfest. All Maugham can do is describe Larry's scintillating eyes and his smile over and over and over again and by the end of the book, even Maugham is apologizing for that. Also, Maugham allows himself to be the first person narrator and, as such, does more than his fair share of self-aggrandizing in the book. He befriends prostitutes down on their luck, flies to the deathbed of people he's mildly acquainted with and even pays the funeral expenses of heroin-addicted nymphomaniacs. What a prince. The female cast of characters can pretty much be summed up as a gay man's view of women (Maugham was bisexual, I think, but leaned more towards men) Not terribly flattering or fleshed out to say the least.
Women reading this book should glean three lessons from it: 1)It's not much fun to date a saint unless you get a kick out of living like a hobo and discussing 16th century mystics late into the night. (2) Don't stay engaged to a man who won't tell you where he lives. And finally....(3) Never, ever tell your love problems to a novelist because nothing good will come of it!

February 19, 2024I was reminded of Henry James' story while reading a few weeks ago so I wasn't surprised to see Henry James mentioned several times at the beginning of The Razor's Edge.
In the first few pages, Somerset Maugham tells us that he, Somerset Maugham, has decided to write an account of a group of Americans he met in Chicago years before. He maintains that if Henry James can write about English people, he himself can surely write about Americans, and make them sound more authentic than Henry James made his English characters to boot!
The funny thing is that once I was introduced to Somerset Maugham's American 'people', I felt I'd met them all before鈥攊nside the pages of several Henry James novels and stories. The closest correspondence was with HJ's , his novel about a young American called Chad Newsome who runs away to Paris, and the subsequent efforts his American friends and family make to get him to return to his responsibilities, i.e., settling down to business and a suitable marriage. Maugham's account is mainly about a young American called Larry Darrell who also runs off to Paris where he tries to evade anyone who might want to drag him back to what they think should be his responsibilities. And there's a scene that reminded me of a similar scene in HJ's novel, and that also recalls the Gustave Caillebotte painting that features on the cover of some editions of The Ambassadors
He struck a match on the chimney-piece, one of those old-fashioned French sulphur matches that fill your nostrils with an acrid odor, and lit his pipe. Then, passing her, he went over and stood by one of the windows. He looked out. He was silent for what seemed like an endless time.
Maugham's Larry is very good at silently evading people, much better than Chad Newsome, and A Razor's Edge eventually takes a very different direction than HJ's The Ambassadors.
Somerset Mauham's titles are all a bit like HJ's 'Figure in the Carpet' image鈥攖hey are far from easy to figure out. I needed to have 'Of Human Bondage' explained to me (thanks Jan-Maat), and I wasn't sure I understood this one any better. Well, a minor character does get their throat cut but that was hardly what 'the razor's edge' referred to. So I did what I rarely do and looked it up. According to Wikipedia, the novel's title comes from a translation of a verse in the Katha Upanishad, paraphrased in the book's epigraph as: "The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; thus the wise say the path to Salvation is hard."
My Vintage edition had no epigraph, by the way, so I didn't feel stupid for having missed the explanation. And now that I have read it, I feel a little bit enlightened鈥攎aybe not as enlightened as Larry becomes when he goes to India, but I do see the point of the title better now.
And looking up the title has saved me writing the sillier review I was going to write about what I'd do if I'd had a razor: split this book in two! Yes, because for the first half of the book, I couldn't relate to the premise as outlined at the beginning, the bit about these people being real, or to the narrative voice or the writing style, and I kept wishing I was still reading Of Human Bondage. One of the things that bothered me was that the narrator, whom the other characters call Mr Maugham, seemed to place an inordinate value on physical attributes, remarking on people's appearance over and over again. Here's an example: One of the defects of my character is that I can never grow used to the plainness of people; however sweet a disposition a friend of mine may have, years of intimacy can never reconcile me to his bad teeth or lopsided nose: on the other hand I never cease to delight in his comeliness and after twenty years of familiarity I am still able to take pleasure in a well-shaped brow or the delicate line of a cheekbone. So I never came into Isabel's presence without feeling anew a little thrill of pleasure in the perfection of her oval face... (Isabel is the main female character, by the way, and she reminded me a little of HJ's Isabel Archer from Portrait of a Lady in that she was destined not to marry where her heart lay but instead to suit other people).
Anyway, about half way through the book, I become reconciled to the narrator's voice, especially as I began to realise that he too was simply a 'character', and that the beginning pages about the book being based on real people was just a device to set up the story.

鈥�Its a toss-up when you decide to leave the beaten track. Many are called, few are chosen.鈥�
A classic which is really worth reading. The author narrates the tale of a man who is in search of the true meanings of life by turning down opportunities and taking up a "road less taken" lifestyle.
In The Razor鈥檚 Edge Maugham introduces the reader with Larry Darrel, an American pilot who is in shock after his experiences during the World War I. After returning from war, he was so changed with his perspectives about life that leaving his fianc茅e and the opportunities of an affluent lifestyle he sets on a journey in search of the truth regarding the life. After a lot of loafing about and trying his hand at several arduous jobs like mining and farming he becomes a ship-man which takes him to India where he is influenced by the Eastern mysticism and discovers the path of salvation.
The book makes the reader ask himself some very difficult to answer, but pretty straight forward questions about life. The book dwells on some major concepts of Advaita Ved膩nta Philosophy and Maugham鈥檚 lucid narrative combined with his clever style of placing himself inside the story as a narrator and taking the story forward by focusing on people around Larry and sketching their reactions on the changes that occur in Larry鈥檚 lifestyle makes this a fantastic book to read.
"The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; thus the wise say the path to Salvation is hard," - This translation from a verse in 碍补峁环辞辫补苍颈峁诲, which was chosen by Maugham as the novel's epigraph explains the title of the book and the difficult path which leads to true salvation.
The 1944 first edition hardbound copy of this novel, which i had the luck to pick up from a thrift shop some years ago, is a proud gem in my library.

"One of Maugham's three major novels ..." TIME. That's high praise coming from TIME magazine. This MUST be good.
I鈥檓 sure some of you are familiar with a little American television drama series that aired on HBO from 2002-2008 called The Wire. I was way late to the party, but over the past 6 months or so, I鈥檝e managed to watch all 5 glorious seasons back to back to back. Well, glorious to a point. But what the hell happened in season 5? I kept waiting for it to get good, kept waiting for something to happen. Waiting for the outlaw Omar Little to come along, whistling 鈥楾he Farmer in the Dell,鈥� and take that bitch Marlo down. Man. Talk about anticlimactic. How you gonna do Omar like that, huh?
I had a similar experience with this book. I was really digging it for about 200 pages. Then an unfortunate thing happened鈥�
I forgive the weirdness of Maugham interjecting himself as a minor character in the story and the weirdness of him being the narrator. I forgive the implausibility of every character just happening to feel the need to unburden themselves in his presence, whether they really knew him or not. What I cannot forgive is this:
I feel it right to warn the reader that he can very well skip this chapter without losing the thread of such story as I have to tell, since for the most part it is nothing more than the account of a conversation that I had with Larry. I should add, however, that except for this conversation I should perhaps not have thought it worth while to write this book.
What? What the What??? Well of course I have to read it now that you鈥檝e said 鈥�(blah blah blah) except for this conversation I should perhaps not have thought it worth while to write this book.鈥� But good God man, I wish I hadn鈥檛. That was just awful. All that bullshit Eastern philosophy seemed so contrived. I think Maugham got confused for a moment there and thought he was Hermann Hesse. He is not Hermann Hesse. No one wants him to be Herman Hesse.
I loved that the main character (Larry Darrell) was going through his own 鈥楨at, Pray, Love鈥� spiritual journey type thing, travelling from country to country trying to find his own version of Truth. I loved him, and I loved the way he eschewed all of the so called social norms and expectations and did his own thing. But that whole conversation was just plain hackneyed and I wish I had never read it. Minus that chapter, this is definitely a 4 star book. But quite honestly, I was sitting in a park reading the chapter that INSPIRED THE BOOK and I almost threw it in the garbage can unfinished.
I鈥檓 just bitterly trying to pretend that chapter never happened. If I could do it all again, I鈥檇 be like that annoying little kid who doesn鈥檛 want to listen to his mother, with his fingers in his ears going 鈥渓a la la laaaa.. I can鈥檛 hear you." The end.

I am considering starting a project to find out why some books are infinitely better at curing a reader's block than others.
This would be my first field study. I picked it up with the tired feeling of not being able to concentrate, and before I knew what had happened, I was completely immersed in the strange lives of upper class Chicago people - charmingly interacting with a fictional Maugham in all kinds of settings.
Maybe the trick is that these people lose the direction of their lives over and over again, but still continue to look for meaning? Who could not relate to that?
Maybe the trick is in the unspectacular development of ordinary life, eloquently narrated and observed?
Or maybe it is just the brilliant spirit of the author shining on each page?
Whatever it is, it's wonderful!

Rating: 4.25* of five
The Publisher Says: Intimate acquaintances but less than friends, they meet and part in postwar London and Paris: Elliot, the arch-snob but also the kindest of men; Isabel, considered to be entertaining, gracious, and tactful; Gray, the quintessence of the Regular Guy; Suzanne, shrewd, roving, and friendly; Sophie, lost, wanton, with a vicious attractiveness about her; and finally Larry, so hard and so trustful, lost in the world's confusion. Their story, one of Somerset Maugham's best, encompasses the pain, passion, and poignancy of life itself.
My Review: It is pleasant to give yourself over to the care of a master, or mistress, of craft. The Razor鈥檚 Edge is masterful. It is an expression of the mastery Maugham earned through many long years of novel-writing and mostly successful critical reception of his work that this book, which came almost forty years into a career of more than sixty years, feels as fresh as his first great novel (Of Human Bondage, 1915). It deals, as is the case with so many writers鈥� oeuvres, with many of the same themes and issues as the first book and most of his subsequent work.
A critic reviewing The Razor鈥檚 Edge today would likely fault the author for choosing to write the story from his own first-person point of view. The fashion today is for first-person narratives, it鈥檚 true, but Maugham uses a narrative device鈥he story told to the narrator by others鈥ery much out of fashion in today鈥檚 world. It is accused, perhaps with justice, of taking the forward thrust out of a story. It makes the reader a follower, a passive observer of the story, instead of giving the presently fashionable sense of watching the story unfold before the reader鈥檚 eyes. In a world that craves 鈥淭he Real World鈥� and 鈥淪urvivor,鈥� the technique of the cicerone leading the reader around the story feels artificial and affected. That is too bad. The Razor鈥檚 Edge is a pleasant journey in the company of interesting people. It鈥檚 not a fast-lane zoom like Less Than Zero, in a car full of noisy meretricious mercenary monkey-boys. It is a subtler pleasure, a trip more akin to touring the blue roads of the American countryside than that superhighway journey.

It deals, as is the case with so many writers鈥� oeuvres, with many of the same themes and issues as the first book and most of his subsequent work.
A critic reviewing The Razor鈥檚 Edge today would likely fault the author for choosing to write the story from his own first-person point of view. The fashion today is for first-person narratives, it鈥檚 true, but Maugham uses a narrative device鈥he story told to the narrator by others鈥ery much out of fashion in today鈥檚 world. It is accused, perhaps with justice, of taking the forward thrust out of a story. It makes the reader a follower, a passive observer of the story, instead of giving the presently fashionable sense of watching the story unfold before the reader鈥檚 eyes. In a world that craves 鈥淭he Real World鈥� and 鈥淪urvivor,鈥� the technique of the cicerone leading the reader around the story feels artificial and affected. That is too bad. The Razor鈥檚 Edge is a pleasant journey in the company of interesting people. It鈥檚 not a fast-lane zoom like Less Than Zero, in a car full of noisy meretricious mercenary monkey-boys. It is a subtler pleasure, a trip more akin to touring the blue roads of the American countryside than that superhighway journey.

Back in the dark days of the mid-鈥�80s, I read somewhere that Bill Murray was going to be in a movie called The Razor鈥檚 Edge, and that it was based on a book. Since this was long before the days where you could check IMDB to see what the movie was going to be about, I figured the book had to be hilarious since Murray was starring in it. So I found the book at the library and started reading. I was pretty shocked to find that it was a serious story about a guy who goes looking for the meaning of life. I was even more shocked that I loved it. And even though the movie version flopped and caused Murray to drop out of film making for years, I still want to say thanks to Bill because if it wasn鈥檛 for the movie, I probably never would have read this.
Maugham engages in a bit of meta-fiction by incorporating himself into a story he claims at the beginning was true. (I guess there鈥檚 been a fair amount of debate on if it actually was based on fact, but I鈥檓 content to consider it fiction.) Maugham is friends with Elliot Templeton, an American born snob whose passion is for European high society. Maugham meets Templeton鈥檚 relatives while on a trip to Chicago, including Elliot鈥檚 niece, Isabel. Isabel is engaged to Larry Darrell. (Feel free to insert your own jokes about 鈥淗i, I鈥檓 Larry. This is my brother Darrell, and my other brother Darell.鈥�) Larry was a World War I pilot who is driving Isabel鈥檚 family crazy with his continued refusal to get a job and start grabbing some of that postwar prosperity that the rest of America is cashing in on.
Over the course of the next two decades, Maugham will learn the story of Larry and Isabel from updates by Elliot and chance encounters with the people involved. Larry and Isabel break their engagement, and Larry travels the world, taking different jobs and doing extensive research on varying subjects without explaining why. Eventually, Maugham learns that the war gave Larry a burning desire to explore the nature of existence and eventually leads him to India where he鈥榙 try to find enlightenment.
Re-reading this, a couple of things struck me about why it appeals to me. The first is the character of Larry. The idea of a character profoundly changed by war isn鈥檛 anything new, but Larry comes across as distinct and unique. He isn鈥檛 bitter or angry. He isn鈥檛 seeking solace in booze or sex or turning into a raging nihilist. Larry comes across as a curious person who was genuinely puzzled about the nature of death and evil, and decides to look for his own answers. His ability to withstand the overwhelming peer pressure to follow his friends into jobs shows his will to follow his own path, but Larry isn鈥檛 looking down his nose at anyone. He doesn鈥檛 judge others and is content to live his own life in the way he鈥檚 chosen. As another character describes Larry, he鈥檚 a very religious man who doesn鈥檛 believe in God, and that鈥檚 a really great character to read about.
The other thing I like is the structure of the novel. Telling the story over a period of years, sometimes as second hand stories told to Maugham was a way to make you curious about Larry and his quest, and Maugham鈥檚 talent makes the other characters and subplots come alive.

Self-sacrifice, a most "overwhelming" human "passion."
This novel of Larry Darrell's spiritual journey struck me hard with Maugham's valuable instruction on how self-sacrifice to "save" another is greater than any other human passion. The sobering story begins with Darrell returning immensely affected by WW I and yearning for something more substantial than a return to material success in Chicago. His yen leads him to Europe then to Asia, including a 5-year sabbatical in India studying and meditating.
Maugham examines the human effects of self-sacrifice. By this, I refer to sacrifice of self as it transforms into a weakness in the form of a Messianic complex in which one believes she has the power to save a poor soul who is quite clearly past the point of no return.
If you've witnessed it firsthand--as I have a couple of times--you know it ultimately fails unless the person to be saved accepts that she has a problem for which she needs help and completely commits herself long-term to helping in the solution. If either of these conditions is absent, the ultimate crash (commitment, prison or death) will crush the would-be savior who deceived herself into believing in her own miraculous powers, and ignored the truth that some people are constitutionally incapable of attaining an honesty that they have a problem and they need help, or they suffer from some mental disorder.
After protagonist Larry is severely affected by the death of a fellow soldier in WW I, he does much traveling over continents, experiencing different religions as he comes to several self-realizations. The novel became charged with atmosphere and emotions after Larry and the group of characters meet one night at a bar in Paris and in falls a drunk Sophie, a wayward girl from Chicago who's recently lost her husband, and her way through various chemicals and bedfellows. Larry eventually asks Sophie to marry him. She says yes, and well, the rest would be a spoiler.
Still resonating with me is the tug I felt by Larry's frustrations arising from his hopeless desire to save Sophie through self-sacrifice. In describing the grip of passion that's overtaken Larry, an otherwise bright guy, Maugham writes that by becoming engaged to Sophie, Larry tries "to save the soul of a wanton woman whom he'd known as an innocent child," and,
The novel's title comes from the Katha Upanishad, a Hindu book of wisdom: The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over: thus, the wise say the path to Salvation is hard.

... self-sacrifice is a passion so overwhelming that beside it even lust and hunger are trifling. It whirls its victim to destruction in the highest affirmation of his personality. The object doesn't matter; it may be worthwhile or it may be worthless. No wine is so intoxicating, no love so shattering, no vice so compelling. When he sacrifices himself man for a moment is [or believes himself to be] greater than God, for how can God, infinite and omnipotent, sacrifice himself? At best he can only sacrifice his only begotten son.Powerful stuff. The only novel I've read that fully explores this significant human blindspot.

Bill Murray bombed at the box office with his 1984 remake of The Razor鈥檚 Edge. Critics panned it, audiences ignored it, and all seemed to think that Murray should stick to comedy. And then there was me. Twenty years old, idealistic, purposefully eccentric, I loved the movie, and completely identified with Murray鈥檚 portrayal of Larry Darrell. His rejection of career and the pursuit of wealth, turning away from social conventions to chase after knowledge and the answers to the Big Questions resonated with something already in me.
After watching the film, I read Maugham鈥檚 novel and found it amazing. Soon, I was living it out, dropping out of university, hitchhiking and bumming about, spending time in spiritual communes, devouring books and studying mysticism. The Razor鈥檚 Edge was a book that helped to shape my life.
Almost four decades later, and here I am having reread The Razor鈥檚 Edge. Now a lapsed bohemian, more settled, (though still plenty eccentric) my appreciation of Maugham鈥檚 great novel is more layered and complex. Larry Darrell, still fascinating, no longer stands out as the book鈥檚 principal protagonist. If anything, he seems more a foil to compare and contrast the other strong characters, who get as much or more attention than he does. The Razor鈥檚 Edge belongs as much to Elliot Templeton, the good hearted expatriate snob who devotes his entire existence to the pursuit of social distinction and being invited to the right parties, or Isabel Maturin, Larry鈥檚 ex fianc茅, who rejected the bohemian life he offered her in favor of wealth, comfort, a good marriage, wonderful clothes and smart society. Even Somerset Maugham himself is a character here, the narrator of the story through whom we meet all the rest of these brilliant people. He likes them all, viewing their choices with little judgement and no condemnation.
Maugham concluded his novel with these words, a perfect summation of his attitude:
鈥漈o my intense surprise, it dawned upon me that without in the least intending to, I had written nothing more nor less than a success story. For all the persons with whom I鈥檝e been concerned got what they wanted; Elliot social eminence, Isabel an assured position backed by a substantial fortune in an active and cultured community, Gray a steady and lucrative job with an office to go to from nine till six every day, and Larry happiness. And however superciliously the highbrows carp, we the public, in our heart of hearts, all like a success story.鈥�
When I read The Razor鈥檚 Edge as a young man, I naturally identified with Larry Darrell. On rereading it now, very nearly an old man, I think I identify more with the character of Somerset Maugham himself, the non judgmental observer who knows and likes all of these vastly different people, and can identify the humanity in them all.
(And I don鈥檛 care what the critics say - no one could have portrayed a more perfect Larry Darrell than Bill Murray - watch the movie.)

I love this book. I absolutely adore it.
Larry has returned from World War I and refuses to engage in life. Isabel, his finance, is a member of Chicago high society who finds Larry's lack of interest in life troubling.
Grey, Larry's good friend and a successful stock broker, is loyal to Larry despite his secret love for Isabel.
Sound like a soap opera? It should. Told from the first person by Maugham himself, who runs into Larry every few years over a twenty-year period, this is the story of one man's successful search for the meaning of life.
The writing is so simple and crystal it's almost lyrical. The characters are so lifelike you feel like you know them personally. They impress you, make you laugh, and sometimes disappoint you. This story is filled with tragedy and triumph.
In 1984, I happened upon a beat up paperback copy of The Razor's Edge while perusing a used book store in Honolulu. I read it, then re-read it. It has been among my five favorite novels ever since.
