"Razor's edge" - a true "school of manners" of European and American society of the early XX century. Perhaps in the novel collected the most vivid characters who have ever come out from under the pen of Somerset Maugham. Larry Darrel is a young American in search of the meaning of life. Isabella, his fiancée, who has to make a difficult choice between love and wealth, the opinion of society and the desire to live his own way. Elliot Templeton - a kind of standard of snobbery, having risen from the bottom, now he strictly follows the rules of secular society. "Then and Now" - a historical novel that tells the story of the all-powerful Borgia clan, which dreams of uniting Italy, but again and again stumbles over the resistance of the independent republic of Florence. The conflict takes an increasingly bitter form, and finally Florence sends an ambassador to the Borgias - the most brilliant political thinker of his time, cynic and subtle schemer Niccolo Machiavelli. Thus begins a fascinating duel between Machiavelli and his adversary Cesare Borgia, two adversaries who are not inferior to each other in intellect or cunning.
