A compelling novel of self-discovery and the search for meaning from the author of The Painted Veil.

The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

I enjoyed listening to this book. Both the story and the performance are brilliant. Lovely experience.

Brilliant and easy to read

A dedicated classics reader, I avoided Maugham for far too long. What a shame to have denied myself the pleasure and thoughtfulness of this story for decades. Listen or read. Today. Michael Page is an excellent narrator as always.

Rethink your life

Always a pleasure to read a book with a beggining, middle, and end, timeless themes, and none of the ax grinding, and propagandizung that are the hallmarks of modern authors.

Maugham at 70 and still amazing

I have always liked this story, having seen and enjoying both film versions. the book paints the the scenes as eloquently as I had hoped.

Great story

This is a wonderful book, one that stays with you. Nuanced, deep perception of characters. Excellent narration.

Beautiful Book

We all tend toward selfishness, sometimes coming to ones self, means a life alone. Being alone does not always mean loniness.

A story of a man searching, and finding himself. Kindness comes from a least expected place.

Maugham's classic about a man's search for spiritual understanding is worth revisiting, even if the social setting and characters seem dated. And it's hard to see how Michael Page's reading could be any better, as he faithfully channel's the narrator's (i.e. Maugham's) prejudices, attitudes and values.

FAITHFUL RENDERING OF A CLASSIC

How many of us desire to lead a life of detachment and to evolve to that point as Larry. It is a very interesting study of the human consciousness vs social consciousnesses. It is no wonder that Paul Twitchell and Sri Harold Klemp mentioned this book in their spiritual studies of Eckankar.

A very thought provoking work!

Love it, I’m like the length and of course the content. Would
Listen to it again.

Great listening

It is a very entertaining book.

The irony and the venomous jabs of the author are directed to everyone, even to himself. The subtle irony and the detatchment with which the story is narrated make of this book a pleasant read.

Only one of the protagonists is spared by the author's merciless pen, possibly to juxtapose his wholeness to the comparative emptiness of the other characters.

A pitiless and amusing social portrait / critique
