This is the first of three volumes of my collected short stories. In my early youth I wrote a number, but they are so immature that I have preferred not to reprint them. A few are in a book that has long remained out of print, a few others are scattered in various magazines. They are best forgotten. The first of the stories in this collection, Rain, was written in 1920 in Hong Kong, but I had hit upon the idea for it during a journey I took in the South Seas during the winter of 1916. The last of my stories was written in New York in 1945 from a brief note that I found by chance among my papers and which I made as far back as 1901. I do not expect ever to write another.

Download Rain and Other South Sea Stories (The Trembling of a Leaf Short Stories Collection) Book in PDF, Epub and Kindle
In 'Rain and Other South Sea Stories,' William Somerset Maugham takes readers on a captivating journey through the exotic South Seas, painting a vivid picture of the colonial experience through a series of short stories. Maugham's literary style is marked by a keen eye for detail and a masterful use of irony, bringing to life the complexities of human nature and the impact of cultural clashes. Set against the backdrop of British imperialism, these stories offer a glimpse into the lives of colonizers and colonized, exploring themes of love, desire, and power dynamics in a foreign land. William Somerset Maugham, a prolific writer and renowned playwright, draws inspiration from his own experiences traveling across the South Pacific to craft this collection. His firsthand observations and interactions with the diverse cultures of the region lend authenticity and depth to the narratives, making them both compelling and thought-provoking. I highly recommend 'Rain and Other South Sea Stories' to readers interested in exploring the complexities of colonialism and cultural encounters. Maugham's poignant storytelling and subtle commentary make this collection a timeless masterpiece worth delving into.
