Searching for Meaning: Somerset Maugham’s Novel Approach
We will consider two of Somerset Maugham’s novels. Of Human Bondage is a coming of age story. After a difficult childhood, Philip Carey struggles to find his place in the world, testing various careers and relationships. In The Razor’s Edge, Larry Darrell emerges from the tumult of World War I, a changed man eager to find spiritual enlightenment. We will follow Larry on his spiritual pilgrimage to Germany, Spain and India and accompany him on his move to America.
