About the author

W. Somerset (William Somerset) Maugham

1874–1965

Known for clear, graceful prose and a sharp eye for human weakness, he became one of the most widely read English writers of the 20th century. His novels, stories, and plays often mix wit, travel, and hard-earned insight about love, ambition, and illusion.
