About the book

This collection brings together short fiction by W. Somerset Maugham, one of the finest storytellers of the twentieth century. Drawing on his travels and wide experience of human nature, Maugham sets his stories in locations ranging from England and continental Europe to colonial outposts in Asia and the Pacific. His characters are often confronted by love, betrayal, ambition, loneliness and unexpected changes of fortune. Written in Maugham's clear and elegant style, the stories combine sharp observation with irony and psychological insight, revealing the complicated motives that lie beneath apparently ordinary lives.
