William Somerset Maugham Series

William Somerset Maugham cultivated a clear and direct prose style, a purity some critics attributed to his early fluency in French. Despite early hardships and periods of near starvation dedicated to his writing, Maugham forged a career that deliberately moved away from the experimental currents of modernism. His works often explored human nature and society with an observant, detached eye. Readers appreciate his ability to craft narratives that are both accessible and incisive.
