But then she has a vision of the Virgin, and is miraculously cured. In the dark days of the Spanish Inquisition, such a claim to blessedness has serious consequences, especially when Catalina seems more inclined to obey her heart than the demands of the Church.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe last of Maugham's novels, Catalina is a romantic celebration of Spain and a delightfully mischievous satire on absolutism.\u003cbr\u003e\n      Review      \u003cbr\u003e\nOne of my favourite writers -- Gabriel Garcia Marquez\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe modern writer who has influenced me the most -- George Orwell\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nIn his prime, he evolved a clear and effective prose style that achieved a quality possessed only by master story-tellers, making the reader greedy for more....From an era that produced George Bernard Shaw, H.G.

He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel,\u003cbr\u003e\nLiza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature.\u003cbr\u003e\nOf Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Summing Up and\u003cbr\u003e\n A Writer's Notebook. In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099286844\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.7 x 5.0 x 0.8 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e english\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49063094747440,"sku":"Prakash_9780099286844","price":594.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/vintage-classics-book-default-title-catalina-38752218382640.jpg?v=1753010647","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/catalina","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
