About This Novel
American young man Larry once participated in World War I and witnessed the ruthlessness and cruelty of war, so he was confused about life. After the war, Larry was eager to seek the value and meaning of life. He broke off his engagement with his fiancée, wandered around Paris, and traveled around the world from Paris. Later, he had an epiphany in the mysteries of Indian religion and had a great sense of enlightenment about life. Then he returned to the United States and lived a life of "hermitism in the city". Maugham vividly describes Larry's journey of searching for the meaning of life, revealing the contradiction between spiritual pursuit and materialism. The protagonist Larry is based on the philosopher Wittgenstein, vividly and profoundly showing the mental journey of Western intellectuals searching for the meaning of life.
