Somerset Maugham was an English playwright, novelist, and short story writer, known for his clear, direct writing style and keen observations of human nature. Born in 1874, Maugham had a varied career, initially studying medicine before turning to writing. His works often explored themes of human weakness, moral ambiguity, and the complexities of relationships. Maugham gained widespread recognition for his novels such as Of Human Bondage, which drew on his own experiences and reflected his deep understanding of personal struggles and desires. He was also an accomplished playwright, with works like The Letter and The Circle enjoying great success. His writing earned him both commercial success and critical acclaim, though his detached, often cynical perspective on life made him a figure of controversy. Maugham’s sharp wit and mastery of character-driven stories have ensured his place as one of the prominent writers of the early 20th century.. Very Good- in Fair dust jacket .
