The Razor's Edge

Although Larry Darrell has returned home safely from active duty as a pilot in the Great War, his experiences have left him raw and traumatized. Seeing the world from a much different perspective than he had before the War, Larry sets out on a journey to find peace and a deeper meaning in his life, rejecting the conventionality that his friends and loved ones seem to embrace.

The Razor's Edge quickly became a bestseller upon its publication in 1944, and was one of the first books to foreshadow the popularization of Eastern philosophy and spirituality in Western culture.
