The Painted Veil (Annotated) [Paperback] Somerset Maugham, W.

Description: The Painted Veil (Annotated) [Paperback] Somerset Maugham, W. Featuring a new section introducing the life of W. Somerset Maugham, this is an annotated version of this classic book. The Painted Veil is a beautifully written affirmation of the human capacity to grow, to change, and to forgive. Full of imperfect and flawed characters it was perceived as descriptive of those character types of the time, but in some way, it feels quite contemporary, especially in the themes it addresses and the way it describes the relationships between women and men. Set in England and Hong Kong in the 1920s, The Painted Veil is the story of the beautiful but love-starved Kitty Fane. When her husband discovers her adulterous affair, he forces her to accompany him to the heart of a cholera epidemic. Stripped of the British society of her youth and the small but effective society she fought so hard to attain in Hong Kong, she is compelled by her awakening conscience to reassess her life and learn how to love. This wonderfully atmospheric and evocative book has on 3 occasions been made into a film, most recently in 2006. Anthem Books Difference Great quality used items!
