The tales offer a glimpse into the complexities of desire, loss, and the profound impact of the South Seas on those who venture into its enchanting realm.

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.
