Mrs. Mary Panton residiert seit dem Tod ihres Mannes in einer Villa in den Hügeln über Florenz, wo sie sich die Zeit damit vertreibt, über ihre unglückliche Ehe zu kontemplieren und ihre Wünsche und ihr Begehren hinter den dicken Mauern des Anwesens zu verbergen. Doch eines schönen, gewohnt langweiligen Tages bekommt sie es mit gleich drei heiratswütigen Männern zu tun. Der erste, ein Freund aus Kindertagen, ist ihr zu sehr Gentleman, der zweite zu sehr das Gegenteil davon und der dritte, ein überaus untalentierter Violinist, ist leider oder zu ihrem Glück recht bald tot.

"Es gibt keinen Ort in den Malaiischen Staaten, der bezaubernder wäre als Tanah Merah...", so beginnt Somerset Maugham eine seiner bekanntesten Erzählungen. Doch auch an den bezaubernden Orten dieser Erde wohnt das Böse. Ob in Südostasien, Frankreich oder in heimischen Gefilden, stets versteht es Somerset Maugham in die Abgründe der menschlichen Seele zu blicken und die dunklen Seiten der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen auszuleuchten. Maughams Geschichten beben vor innerer Spannung und sind angereichert mit einem hintergründigen Humor.

Story0
Dive into this riveting social satire that explores the ambitions of Theodore Spratte, a cleric who will go to any lengths to become a bishop. His journey includes embellishing his family history and meddling in his childrens love lives. Maugham paints a vivid picture of Spratte as more than just mediocre and pompous; hes also ambitious, hypocritical, and vain. This engaging novel, praised in 1906 for its blend of cynical gaiety and broad farcical comedy, continues to be a timeless representation of ambition and vanity. -- Lee Smalley
