This well-preserved copy of “Stranger in Paris” by W. Somerset Maugham offers a compelling glimpse into the interwar literary scene of 1930s Paris. Published in 1935, the novel follows the exploits of a struggling English writer who finds himself embroiled in the bohemian milieu of the City of Light. Maugham, a celebrated author known for his crisp prose and incisive character studies, draws upon his own experiences as an expatriate in Paris to craft a richly atmospheric tale. This fifth printing from 1949 attests to the enduring popularity of Maugham’s work in the decades following its initial release. Despite some expected wear befitting a vintage paperback, the clean pages and sturdy binding make this an excellent reading copy for bibliophiles seeking to immerse themselves in the bygone era of the Lost Generation.
