商品描述
Volume 1: East and West, 955 pages, 30 stories. Volume 2: The World Over, 681 pages, 61 stories. Volume one of this handsome set is titled "East and West." It consists of 30 short stories written between 1919 and 1930. Volume Two, titled "The World Over" has 61 stories, some of them only brief sketches. Most of the stories have the exotic settings Maugham is famous for: the South Pacific, China, and Southeast Asia. Many of them deal with the British and other Westerners interacting with the Orient and Orientals. The best known and representative is "Rain" in which a missionary takes on the task of reforming a prostitute. A few spy stories, reflecting Maugham's experience in World War I, and tales of the occult are mixed in with the tales of the Orient. It is difficult to single out the best Maugham stories because he is so consistently good.
