刀锋 – The Razor’s Edge by W. Somerset Maugham

小说写一个参加第一次世界大战的美国青年飞行员拉里·达雷尔。在军队里，拉里结识了一个爱尔兰好友：这人平时是那样一个生龙活虎般的置生死于度外的飞行员，但在一次遭遇战中，因去救拉里而中弹牺牲。拉里因此对人生感到迷惘，弄不懂世界上为什么有恶和不幸，拉里开始了他令人匪夷所思的转变……

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.
