Rain and Other South Sea Stories (Thrift Edition)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
In 1917, W. Somerset Maugham took the first of many voyages to the Pacific Islands and the Far East, where his keen sense of observation found inspiration for some of his finest writing. This collection features one of his most famous tales, “Rain,” concerning the clash between a missionary and a prostitute. It also includes “Macintosh,” a psychological study of the competition between two officials; “The Fall of Edward Barnard,” a tale of social rebellion that foreshadows The Razor's Edge; “The Pool,” a portrait of a marriage between people from different cultures; and other compelling stories of life in the tropics. 192pp. 53/16 x 81/4.
