Hardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. A Richer Dust: Family, Memory and the Second World War, Calder, Robert Lorin. Published by Viking Canada, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2004. First Canadian Edition. 8vo up to 9½" tall., xii, 271pp., illustrated. In fine, unread condition; jacket has very light edge rubbing with closed tear lower spine. "When Captain Ken Calder returned home to Canada after five years of fighting in WWII, the last thing he expected to find was another man living with his wife. Three weeks later, he took his own life. Calder uses his uncle's wartime journal and letters, as well as newspaper accounts and military memoirs to vividly recreate the horrendous battlefield conditions in Italy and Holland. Amid bombs and artillery fire, amid seas of mud and endless rain, soldiers kept alive a vision of home and hearth to keep them going. In Ken Calder's case, as in many other instances, that vision proved to be an illusion. A Richer Dust explores the profound effect that the suicide had on Captain Calder's parents, the brother whose alcoholism led to his being institutionalized, and the two boys who grew up idealizing their soldier uncle. It is a powerful exploration of a case of unrecognized post-traumatic stress and a profoundly moving account of war and its aftermath.".

William Somerset Maugham, CH (/m??m/ MAWM; 25 January 1874 - 16 December 1965), better known as W. Somerset Maugham, was an English playwright, novelist, and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest-paid author during the 1930s. Both Maugham's parents died before he was 10, and he was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. He did not want to become a lawyer like other men in his family, so he trained and qualified as a physician. The initial run of his first novel Liza of Lambeth (1897) sold out so rapidly that he gave up medicine to write full-time. During the First World War, he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service, for which he worked in Switzerland and Russia before the October Revolution of 1917. During and after the war, he travelled in India, Southeast Asia and the Pacific, and those experiences were reflected in later short stories and novels. Laid in are two cuttings relating to this subject. Ref LL 5.
