Viac o knihe

The book features 58 short vignettes inspired by Maugham's travels along the Yangtze River between 1919 and 1920. Rather than focusing on Chinese culture, it examines the lives of Europeans in China, revealing Maugham's critical perspective on their indifference and disdain towards the local population. Through these sketches, he highlights the challenges expatriates face in adapting to a foreign culture, offering a nuanced view of colonial attitudes and the complexities of life as an outsider.
