Synopsis
Published in 1948, "Here And There Selected Short Stories" presents a captivating collection from the esteemed British author W. Somerset Maugham. This particular volume, a first edition, was issued by The Reprint Society, making it an notable piece for collectors and enthusiasts of mid-20th-century literature.
Maugham was a prolific and celebrated writer, renowned particularly for his masterful command of the short story form. His narratives often delve into the complexities of human behaviour, exploring themes of morality, desire, and disillusionment with an incisive wit and an acute observational eye. The title "Here And There" fittingly suggests the breadth of settings and characters that defined his wide-ranging fictional landscapes, from the drawing-rooms of England to the far-flung corners of the British Empire.
This 1948 first edition stands as a vintage testament to one of the 20th century's most accomplished storytellers. It is an appealing acquisition for collectors of W. Somerset Maugham's extensive oeuvre, as well as for those seeking a significant example of post-war English short fiction.
