Far Eastern Tales

Whether portraying a ship-borne flight from a lover's curse, murder in the jungle, or a marriage shattered by a past indiscretion, they all reveal Maugham at his best - sometimes caustic, sometimes gently comic, but always the shrewd and human judge of character and soul.

Indiferent daca infatiseaza un zbor de pe o nava din blestemul unui iubit, o crima in jungla sau o casnicie spulberata de o indiscretie trecuta, toate il dezvaluie pe Maugham in cel mai bun mod - uneori caustic, alteori usor comic, dar intotdeauna judecatorul intelept si uman al caracterului si al sufletului.
