"A happy marriage of prose, performance, and
production." (AudioFile)
William
Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was born at the height of
British Imperial power. When he died, the British Empire
was all but a memory. In Maugham's lifetime, as his
civilization slowly disappeared, people from all walks
of life - the proud, the urbane, the crude, the
desperate - passed beneath the lens of his dispassionate
scrutiny. They re-emerged in his short stories as some
of the most unforgettable literary characters of the
20th century. No other writer possessed his keen ability
of observation. It was an ability so well honed that his
work makes you feel as if you have been drawn into an
intimate conversation with the century's most arresting
and sophisticated personality.
