Description

"The Tenth Man" by W. Somerset Maugham follows the story of a wealthy man who escapes a Nazi prison camp by offering his fortune to one of his fellow inmates. After the war, he demands his wealth back, now reduced to poverty. A tragic comedy unfolds, exploring morality, sacrifice, and human nature.

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.
