Edge razor

"The edge of a razor" — a genuine "school of morals" European and American society in the early twentieth century. Perhaps the novel contains the most vivid characters ever issued from the pen of Somerset Maugham. Larry Darrell is a young American in search of meaning of life. Isabella, his bride, which will make a difficult choice between love and wealth, opinion and desire to live on his own. Elliot Templeton is a kind of standard of snobbery, rising from the bottom, now he strictly follows the rules of a secular society. "The Edge" was filmed twice, the 1946 film with Tyrone Power in the title role received the award "Oscar".
