About This Novel

"The Blade" is Maugham's classic philosophical work. Maugham condensed his thoughts on the world and life into this work. Riley served in the Air Force during World War I and flew high in the vast sky. He wanted "power and honor far beyond the world." The death of his comrade made him realize the helplessness and insurmountability of life. After being discharged from the army, Riley refused to go to college, get married, or find a job. He left his relatives and friends behind and traveled to Europe. Later, he went to India, where he was inspired by a Ganesha master's ashram and suddenly realized the true meaning of life. Riley chose to disappear among all living things.
