People Who Eat the Fruit of Forgetfulness
About This Novel
"The Gluttonous Man" is the sixth volume of "The Complete Collection of Maugham's Short Stories", which contains a total of 15 short stories. These short stories were all written before the outbreak of World War II. The background of the stories may take place in Southeast Asian countries during the British colonial period, or on an isolated island in the South Pacific, or in Capri, Italy, or in French Guiana, showing readers the humanistic and historical pictures of different regions. Some stories are embarrassing to read, some are awe-inspiring, some torture the humanity of ordinary people and praise the kindness of ordinary people, and some satirize the hypocrisy of the Western bourgeoisie and criticize the absurdity of the Western capitalist system. The descriptions of their thoughts and feelings are sincere and delicate, and the writing style is also extremely humorous. The stories are full of warning words of wisdom and aphorisms.
