When noted English writer W. Somerset Maugham tripped for the South Seas to regain his health, his experience would end up being the bedrock for the stories represented here. These are among Maugham's best work, as well as among the better stories ever discussed the exotic South Seas.

''Mackintosh'' is a taut psychological study of two officials on a remote tropic island. ''The Fall of Edward Barnard'' is a tale in what is important in life, a precursor to Maugham's well-known novel, The Razor's Edge. Love is obviously a subject of the tropics, and Maugham's deft, ironic handling of the theme in ''Red'' and ''Honolulu'' is masterful. ''The Pool'' tells a poignant and tragic tale about the pitfalls for love across cultures. Maugham's most well-known story, ''Rain,'' about the ironic consequences of obsession, was adapted for both theater and film.
