Lovely Neighbor

Louie Larson

Sinossi

McCaleb had seen her before she had seen him. He was getting off the main ship, crossing the mountains of the military wing, when he saw a woman standing on a chair in the sea of Follow Me. It was the bright color of a Saturday, the quiet whisper of spring sending many from their homes to the docks of San Pedro. McCaleb was arranging all the trips each morning - a full loop around Cabrillo Marina, along the breakwater and back. At this point he was a little tired, but he was slower as he approached. His initial thought was that of betrayal - the woman boarded the boat without an invitation. But as he got closer, he brushed that thought aside and wondered who she was, what she wanted

The Trembling of a Leaf - Little...

W. Somerset Maugham

When noted English writer W. Somerset Maugham set off for the South Seas to regain his health, his experiences would become the bedrock for the stories represented here. These are among Maugham’s best work, as well as some of the best stories ever written about 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 story about what is important in life, a precursor to Maugham’s well-known novel, The Razor’s Edge. Love is always 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 famous story, “Rain,” about the ironic consequences of obsession, was adapted for both theater and film.
