| Notes: | Larry Darrell has returned from service as an aviator in World War I utterly rejecting his prewar values. He is concerned chiefly with discovering the meaning of human existence and eliminating evil in the world. To that end, he spends five years in India seeking answers. COMMENTS — Maugham described his philosophy of life as a resigned atheism with a certain skepticism about the extent of the innate goodness and intelligence of humans. Now there’s a cheery view of life. |
