內容簡介
Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of his spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham's most brilliant characters - his fiancée Isabel whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliott Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob.??Maugham himself wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.

“[Maugham is] a great artist . . . a genius.” –Theodore Dreiser
“[Maugham’s] excessively rare gift of story-telling . . . is almost the equal of imagination itself.” –

“Maugham remains the consummate craftsman. . . . [His writing is] so compact, so economical, so closely motivated, so skillfully written, that it rivets attention from the first page to last.” –

從生物學角度來說,活著其實是沒有意義的。活著就是活著。一大堆細胞在運作。由嫩而老,由盛而衰。其他活物對此都沒意見,隻有人類不行,人類非得給自己的存在找一個理由,這是這種生物很奇怪的一個特徵。絕大多數人,給自己找的存在理由不外乎社會地位(艾洛特)、物質生活(伊莎貝爾)、感情(索菲)等等,找到之後就心滿意足。人類社會的形成和設計在某種程度上是為這些需求服務的。但是有少數人,腦子裏的溝迴比彆人深一些,或者經曆比較特殊,會發現自己不滿足於獲得世俗的成功和幸福,他們會問:我活著到底是為什麼?我究竟為什麼存在?然後有一股神秘的力量推動他們去找答案。這些少數人中的少數人,有可能找到答案。
