London: William Heinemann, 1944. First Edition. 284pp. Hardcover: VERY GOOD. Dust Wrapper: VERY GOOD. Book shows some gutter weakness at the Title Page, and some modest foxing on the text block; else fine. Dust Wrapper has marginal loss at the spine and some expected color loss and toning. A lovely copy of Maugham’s classic.

One of Maugham's most popular works. A disillusioned WW1 veteran abandons his wealthy friends and lifestyle, and travels to India seeking enlightenment. Basis for the 1946 film starring Tyrone Power and again in 1984 starring Bill Murray.
