In the novels of W. Somerset Maugham, outsiders dissatisfied with society and their prescribed roles in it seek fulfillment in deeply personal quests. Though their travels take them to settings as different as the inner-city slums of London and the lush tropical island of Tahiti, ultimately their journeys are internal searches for self-understanding. The five works collected in this omnibus--Liza of Lambeth, Mrs. Craddock, The Explorer, Of Human Bondage, and The Moon and Sixpence--represent the best and most provocative of Maugham's early novels.
Through his tales of solitary individuals striving to find their place in the world, Maugham expressed emotional and spiritual concerns that still speak to readers today. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

The magnificent Of Human Bondage alone would earn this collection five stars, and of the remaining four novels, Moon and Sixpence is a classic as well, and the others range from decent to excellent. The fact that you can get this volume from Barnes and Noble for about 12 bucks, when each of the five individual novels would cost you about $10 in paperback, makes it an insanely good value.
