Somerset Maugham is a philosophical novel that explores themes of spirituality, materialism, and the search for meaning in life. It follows the journey of Larry Darrell, a World War I veteran who rejects conventional success in pursuit of enlightenment. The story is narrated by Maugham himself, who appears as a character in the novel. One of Maugham’s most personal and philosophical works, the novel draws from his own experiences and interest in Eastern philosophy. It has been adapted into films, including a 1984 version starring Bill Murray in a rare dramatic role.
