- Inhalt:
- A Vintage Shorts "Short Story Month" Selection While stranded waiting for their ship to be released from quarantine, Dr. and Mrs. Macphail must share lodging with the insufferable Davidsons-self-righteous and over-zealous missionaries who also happen to be the only polite company on the god-forsaken island near Pago-Pago. But, things take a dreadful and unexpected turn when Mr. Davidson takes it upon himself to rescue the soul of their neighbor downstairs from second cabin-the insolent, carousing, and inimitable Miss Sadie Thompson. Harrowing and triumphant, "Rain" is indispensable reading, a foundational work for the tradition of short story writing, and one of W. Somerset Maugham's greatest tales. An ebook short.
- W. Somerset Maugham was one of the twentieth century’s most popular novelists as well as a celebrated playwright, critic, and short story writer. He was born in Paris in 1874, but grew up in England and served as a secret agent for the British during World War I. He wrote many novels, including the classics Of Human Bondage, Cakes and Ale, Christmas Holiday, The Moon and Sixpence, Theatre, and Up at the Villa. He died in 1965.
