W. Somerset Maugham - The Razor's Edge

Beschrijving boek

‘The Razor’s Edge’ is the most serious and the most ambitious of Maugham’s novels.
Published when he was seventy, it prompted Cyril Connolly to speak of ‘a great writer determined to tell the truth in a form which releases all the possibilities of his art’. Largely set in France, ‘The Razor’s Edge’ tells the story of the spiritual odyssey of a young American in search of God and the infinite. His progress involves such timeless and arresting figures as Elliott Templeton, earth’s greatest snob; the Maturins of this world and Chicago; Sophie Macdonald, the best gone to the bad; and Suzanne Rouvier, past-mistress of the world of art.
