The Collected Short Stories Of W. Somerset Maugham, Vol. 2 Of 4 by W. Somerset Maugham
A collection of Far Eastern and South Seas tales in which expatriates, planters, and colonial officials confront desire, isolation, betrayal, and the corrosive effects of power. Set amid steamy ports, remote islands, and jungle outposts, the stories mix cool irony with compassion as marriages fracture, reputations unravel, and moral choices carry unforeseen costs, delivering crisp plots, vivid atmosphere, and quietly devastating twists.
