概要

 Immerse yourself in this timeless classic by W. Somerset Maugham, set against the backdrop of England, Hong Kong, and a cholera-stricken village in 1920s China. The story follows the principled Dr. Fane, a dedicated epidemiologist, who falls for the beautiful yet shallow Kitty Garstin. She agrees to marry him, driven more by rivalry with her sister than true love. However, when she embarks on an affair with a British official in Hong Kong, Dr. Fane makes a drastic decision to take her to a remote Chinese village ravaged by cholera, threatening to expose her infidelity if she refuses. What unfolds is a gripping tale of love, betrayal, and the quest for personal redemption. Maugham masterfully explores the inner lives of his characters, particularly Kitty, revealing the veil of illusions that often obscures our true selves. Prepare for unexpected twists that make this novel an unforgettable journey. (Summary by Bob Rollins)Copyright Fiction Classics 世界 社会科学 科学
