  • "Christmas Holiday was published some months before the outbreak of war in 1939. Maugham's purpose was to describe the opening of a young Englishman's eyes to the horror and ugly drama of life in the Paris underworld."
  • "Charley Mason's trip to Paris is haunted by his meeting with Lydia, a wayward girl whose family was displaced by the Russian Revolution and who "pines for a man half a world away, a dope dealer and murderer whose sins Lydia seeks to absolve through her own self-destruction."--Cover."

  • ""Para el joven inglés Charley Mason, la estancia de cinco días en París que le han regalado sus padres no será la celebración que él esperaba, sino un interludio inquietante en su propia vida, un viaje revelador que desestabilizará su corazón y su privilegiada vida familiar en el marco histórico de la Europa de entreguerras. Charley se reúne en París con Simon, periodista y amigo de la infancia con tendencia a meterse en problemas, además de misántropo y manipulador, lo cual sorprende y descorazona a Charley. En el cabaret Sérail, Charley conoce a la 'Princesa Olga', mote de una enigmática chica rusa llamada Lydia, quien lo conmueve con la historia de su vida, su orfandad, su pobreza y su irracional devoción a un marido convicto. Por un breve tiempo, en la realidad de la segura, respetable y cómoda existencia de Charley ocuparán un lugar aquellos que no han disfrutado de esas bendiciones. Sus 'vacaciones' en París lo cambiarán para siempre"--P. [4] of cover."
  • "For the young Englishman Charley Mason, the five-day stay in Paris his parents gave him will not be the celebration that he was expecting, but a disturbing episode in his life, an eye-opening experience that will unsettle his heart and his privileged family life in the context of Europe between the wars. In Paris, Charley meets up with Simon, a journalist and childhood friend, who has a tendency to get into trouble, as well as being misanthropic and manipulative, which surprises and discourages Charley. In the cabaret Sérail, Charley meets 'Princess Olga', the enigmatic nickname of a young Russian named Lydia, who moves him with her life's story, her orphanhood, poverty and her irrational devotion to her imprisoned husband. For a short time, the reality of Charley's safe, respectable and comfortable existence will be taken over by those who have not enjoyed such blessings. His 'vacation' in Paris will change him forever."
