Beschreibung
By the time the First World War started in 1914, Maugham had achieved fame as a writer and had the ideal pretext for relocating to Switzerland. He spoke several languages and was well-versed in several European nations when the Secret Service sent him to Lucerne to finish a play. A task that appealed to both his romantic and absurdist sides was one that was dramatic and dangerous. A collection of tales inspired by Maugham''s own experiences as an agent, evoking the brutality and ruthlessness of espionage, as well as its intrigue, betrayal, and absurdity.
