W Somerset Maugham - Collected Short Stories 4

W. Somerset Maugham – Collected Short Stories: Volume 4 (1972, Penguin Books)
Offered with affection by Crappy Old Books

In this final volume of Maugham’s Collected Short Stories, the master storyteller once again demonstrates why his keen eye for human folly and elegant, unadorned prose have stood the test of time. From tales of quiet betrayal to exotic misadventures, Maugham crafts characters who stumble through life’s ironies with grace, grit, or—more often—regret. This 1972 Penguin edition is a must-have for anyone who appreciates biting wit served with a gin and tonic on the verandah.

A bit creased, a bit yellowed—like all the best things in life. Crappy Old Books guarantees it smells faintly of libraries, cigarettes, and questionable decisions.
