Rare First Edition of W. Somerset Maugham's On A Chinese Screen in the original dust jacket
First edition of this classic travel book by the author of The Razor's Edge. Octavo, original cloth. Near fine in the rare original dust jacket with light wear and expert restoration.
It is a series of short sketches Maugham made during a trip along the Yangtze River in 1919–1920, and although ostensibly about China the book is equally focused on the various westerners he met during the trip and their struggles to accept or adapt to the cultural differences they encounter, which are often as enormous and as alienating as the country itself.
