10 Short Masterpieces
W. Somerset Maugham`s short stories are masterpieces оf the art. No more need be said, except that in their precision of form and beauty of expression, they are jewels of their kind. Of the ten selected stories of this volume some take place on Pacific islands, and some in England, and Prance. They include the celebrated "Rain" the appalling tragedy of Mr. Davidson, the prudish missionary, and Sadie Thompson, the prostitute. On every page the reader will be charmed by the directness, the lucidity, and sincerity of the author`s tone.
