Read eBook the painted veil by W. SOMERSET MAUGHAM with eReader!

The Painted Veil is a 1925 novel by British author W. Somerset Maugham, which was first serialized in Cosmopolitan and Nash’s Magazine. It focuses on a young debutante named Kitty Garstin, who, after rejecting dozens of marriage proposals, finds herself marrying an eccentric doctor named Walter Fane. As Fane travels overseas to fight a cholera epidemic in a small Chinese village, the marriage deteriorates and Kitty becomes unfaithful. However, later events make Kitty regret her actions, as she discovers Walter’s selfless nature when it may be too late. Exploring themes of self-sacrifice and regret as it follows Kitty’s emotional journey, and heavily influenced by Maugham’s study of science and his work at a teaching hospital in London, The Painted Veil remains one of Maugham’s most widely read and acclaimed novels. It has been adapted to the screen three times: a 1934 version starring Greta Garbo; a loose adaptation in 1957 called The Seventh Sin; and the 2006 adaptation starring Naomi Watts and Edward Norton.

The story is told from Kitty’s perspective, a young woman who has spent her early youth enjoying her social life, despite her domineering mother’s attempt to find her the perfect husband. By the age of twenty-five, she’s declined dozens of marriage proposals. Her mother, worried that Kitty has missed her window, urges her daughter to accept a proposal from Dr. Walter Fane, a bacteriologist whom Kitty finds odd. Kitty, worried that her younger, less attractive sister Doris will get married before she does, accepts reluctantly. Kitty and Walter get married and depart for Hong Kong, where Walter has been stationed. Kitty is in a hurry to leave because Doris is going to have a much bigger wedding soon. As they settle in Hong Kong, Kitty meets Charlie Townsend, the Assistant Colonial Secretary. He’s tall, handsome, and charming, and they begin an affair. Two years later, Walter observes his wife and Charlie together. The lovers suspect they’ve been discovered, but assume that Walter won’t intervene and Charlie vows to stand by Kitty. As Charlie is Walter’s superior in the division, he imagines that Walter will want to avoid scandal. Kitty realizes that her husband knows he’s being cheated on, and comes to despise him for his cowardice.
