The Razor's Edge (International Collectors Library)

v, 565 pp. Green leatherette Louis XVI replica binding by Rafael Palacios, gilt titles and decorations, ribbon marker bound in. Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of his spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brilliant characters - his fiancee Isabel whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliott Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. Maugham himself wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.
