Ah King (Works of W. Somerset Maugham)

Set in Malaya, this collection of short stories brilliantly captures the essence of colonial life. Maugham paints a keen picture of the expatriate planter, missionary, and colonial officer--and their womenfolk--as they pass their days in this remote corner of the empire.
