Description

Maugham's Andalusian travel sketches capture landscapes, historic architecture, and local traditions with a contemplative, lyrical eye. A heartfelt portrait of southern Spain's beauty, culture, and spirit for the listener who wants place over plot. Spoken as usable listening when you want the feel of Andalusia without a guidebook's hurry.

Author

W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) wrote Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and a famous shelf of stories from the South Seas and the drawing room. A doctor by training, he observed with a cool, professional eye: desire, failure, and the cost of a vocation. With 35 titles in our catalogue, Maugham remains the English novelist of worldly intelligence — never sentimental, always readable.
