Abstract: Book Description: The stories in this collection move from Malaya to the U.S. to England and include some of Maugham’s most famous tales: 'Flotsam and Jetsam,' the story of an old woman trapped for years in a loveless marriage in the remote rubber plantations, 'The Man with the Scar,' and notably the opening story 'The Vessel of Wrath,' a tale of the unexpected love between a devout missionary nurse and a drunken reprobate.
