W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was one of the most popular and accomplished British writers of the twentieth century. Born in Paris and trained as a physician, Maugham turned to literature after the success of his early novel Liza of Lambeth. He went on to achieve international fame as a novelist, playwright, and short story writer, admired for his elegant prose, worldly insight, and sharp understanding of human motive.His best-known works include Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, The Painted Veil, The Razor's Edge, and Cakes and Ale. Drawing on his travels, his medical training, and his keen observations of society, Maugham created fiction marked by irony, restraint, and psychological precision. His work remains widely read for its clarity, wit, and unsentimental view of ambition, desire, art, and reputation.
