Beschreibung

<p>William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, <i>Liza of Lambeth</i>, published in 1897, won him over to letters. <i>Of Human Bondage</i>, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of <i>The Moon and Sixpence</i> his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and short story writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of <i>The Trembling of a Leaf</i>, subtitled <i>Little Stories of the South Sea Islands</i>, in 1921, which was followed by seven more collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical <i>The Summing Up</i> and <i>A Writer's Notebook.</i></p><p>In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965.</p>
