"THE FACT THAT A GREAT MANY PEOPLE BELIEVE SOMETHING IS NO GUARANTEE OF ITS TRUTH”: First British edition of W. Somerset Maugham's The Razor’s Edge
First British edition of Maugham’s 20th-century manifesto for human fulfillment. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket with light rubbing.
"Written after much painstaking research into Eastern philosophy and mysticism, The Razor’s Edge is Maugham’s 20th-century manifesto for human fulfillment. In it he mercilessly satirizes American and European materialism, and holds up the figure of the spiritual seeker as a model for those searching for meaning in existence" (Stringer). It 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.
