Ashenden o El Agente Secreto

The story delves into the gray areas of loyalty and integrity. I wonder what prompted Maugham to explore these themes through espionage?

The book balances wit and tension so delicately, making me wonder if that contrast was intentional or just how Maugham's style naturally evolved.

The episodic structure adds a layered sense of mystery. I'm curious whether this was a stylistic choice to reflect the clandestine world or for pacing reasons.
