About the Author
Somerset Maugham was an English novelist, playwright, and short-story writer with an understanding of human nature reflected in his work. He was orphaned at an early age and brought up by an uncle, an emotionally cold vicar.
He studied medicine but did not pursue a medical career. His plays and novels were well received and he became a successful writer. His novel ‘Of Human Bondage’ is semi-autobiographical, with its main character reflecting key aspects of Maugham’s life. His work is characterized by the depiction of human flaws, clear lucid style, and unadorned writing.
