A review by larry_yonce
The Servant (Valancourt 20th Century Classics) by Robin Maugham
4.0
the illusion of comfort
A morally weak veteran and student of law succumbs to the manipulations of his servant. Powerful novella that serves (pun intended) as a cautionary tale. Harrowing and not out of the realm of possibility. This edition includes two excellent extras: An introduction by William Lawrence & a preface by the author. For the greatest impact, I recommend reading both of these after you have finished the novella.
