Short Stories Of The Far East
The West has always had a fascination with Asia which they called the Far East. From the stories told by sailors and travellers and the exotic items and food brought back from their journeys, Asia represented a land of mystery where the natives had different values and led another way of life.
Not surprisingly, many writers of international acclaim chose to set their tales in the Far East. This collection of 16 outstanding works includes those by writers that we are familiar with today such as Joseph Conrad, Pearl S Buck and W. Somerset Maugham.
Written to entertain, these specially selected narratives have universal appeal and everyone from the young to the young-at-heart will enjoy them. Set in Malaya, Indonesia, Burma, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and China, the stories depict the best and worse of human nature. They reflect the wisdom and ignorance, the wealth and poverty, as well as the humanity and mystery of the region.
