<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Maugham's greatest popular novel tells the story of Larry Darrell, an attractive and enigmatic American who forsakes bourgeois society to live a life dedicated to the pursuit of truth and meaning.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of this spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brillant characters - his fiancee Isabel, whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliot Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. The most ambitious of Maugham's novels, this is also one in which Maugham himself plays a considerable part as he wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"[Maugham is] a great artist . . . a genius." -Theodore Dreiser <p/>"[Maugham's] excessively rare gift of story-telling . . . is almost the equal of imagination itself." -<i>The Sunday Times</i> (London) <p/>"It is very difficult for a writer of my generation, if he is honest, to pretend indifference to the work of Somerset Maugham. . . . He was always so entirely <i>there</i>." -Gore Vidal <p/>"Maugham remains the consummate craftsman. . . . [His writing is] so compact, so economical, so closely motivated, so skillfully written, that it rivets attention from the first page to last." -<i>Saturday Review of Literature</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>W.
