«El agente secreto» is the spy short story collection by W. Somerset Maugham, published by Febo in paperback (272 pages, in Spanish).
Ashenden, a writer recruited by the British secret service, is the connecting thread of these stories set during the First World War. Maugham drew on his own experience as an agent to portray espionage with suspense, deception, violence and, also, with irony and a touch of the absurd, far from any idealisation.
The work was originally published in 1927 as «Ashenden: Or The British Agent». The book is number 209/4 in the Los JET collection.
For readers of spy fiction and short stories seeking an ironic and realistic view of the secret service in British literature.
William Somerset Maugham was an English writer, known for his plays, novels and short stories.
