The Great Novels and Short Stories of Somerset Maugham

From London to Hong Kong, from Paris to Pago Pago, in Samoa or Malaya, or on a Tahitian tropical isle, the men and women in collection of masterfully crafted tales by Somerset Maugham inhabit exotic, mysterious worlds-and at their own peril invade the dark territory of the human heart. The novels and stories in this compilation include The Moon and Sixpence, Mrs. Craddock, The Magician, "Rain," "Mackintosh," "The Pool," and "The Fall of Edward Barnard." The Moon and Sixpence is widely considered a masterpiece, based on the life of painter Paul Gauguin, whose artwork is featured on the cover of this book. The novel has been adapted several times for the stage and the screen.
