On A Chinese Screen is a collection of short stories and sketches by W. Somerset Maugham, first published in 1922. The book is based on Maugham's experiences during his travels through China in the early 20th century. The stories present a vivid and insightful picture of Chinese life and culture, as seen through the eyes of a Western observer. Maugham's writing is characterized by his sharp wit and keen observation, and he captures the nuances of Chinese society with great sensitivity and insight. The stories range from humorous to poignant, and cover a wide range of topics, including love, family, religion, and politics. Overall, On A Chinese Screen is a fascinating and engaging portrait of a country and a people in transition, and a testament to Maugham's skill as a writer and observer of human behavior.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
