The Trembling of a Leaf

Book cover
In 1916, William Somerset Maugham was travelling to the Pacific to research his novel "The Moon and Sixpence," based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which established Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output. Maugham used parts of his diaries which he kept during the Pacific journey in "The Trembling of a Leaf" (1921), which contains one of his most recognized stories, "Rain".
