About the book: 2007 / "The Razor's Edge" is one of Maugham's best works. Not just a novel, but a genuine “school of morals” of English bohemia of the early 20th century, a book caustic to the point of mercilessness and at the same time full of subtle psychologism. Somerset Maugham does not make diagnoses and does not pass judgment - he paints his own “chronicle of lost time”, to know which awaits the reader!
