W. Somerset Maugham 
Collected Short Stories Volume 1 

This classic collection of stories moves from England, France and Spain to the silver sands of the South Pacific. It includes the famous story 'Rain’, the tragedy of a narrow-minded and overzealous missionary and a prostitute, and 'The Three Fat Women of Antibes, ’ an extravagantly sardonic tale of abstention and greed, as well as a host of other brilliant tales.
