毛姆 (W. Somerset Maugham)

About the Author

W. Somerset Maugham, the renowned British author whose works have captivated readers worldwide, was born in Paris in 1874 and raised in England after his parents' early deaths. Trained as a physician, he soon turned to writing, drawing from his extensive travels in Europe, Asia, and the South Seas to infuse his stories with vivid realism and psychological depth. Maugham's prose masterfully explores human frailties, desires, and the ironies of life, often with a touch of cynicism and wit. His novel '面纱（上海译文出品！毛姆版《霍乱时期的爱情》，一部女性心灵的成长与自省之书，可以一口气读完的爱情小说） (毛姆文集) (Chinese Edition)' exemplifies his skill in portraying a woman's emotional journey and self-discovery amid passionate romance, making it a compelling read that echoes the timeless themes of love and personal growth found in his broader oeuvre. Throughout his career, Maugham produced over twenty novels, numerous short stories, and plays, cementing his legacy as one of the 20th century's most insightful observers of the human condition.
