They range from an appreciation of Goethe's novels, to an encounter with an Indian holy man, criticism of three journalists, and a considered  analysis of the short-story, a form at which Maugham himself excelled.\u003cbr\u003e\n      About the Author      \u003cbr\u003e\nWilliam Somerset Maugham, famous as novelist, playwright and short-story writer, was born in 1874, and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with a view to practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to letters. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. His position as a successful playwright was being consolidated at the same time. His first play, A Man of Honour, was followed by a series of successes just before and after World War I, and his career in the theatre did not end until 1933 with Sheppey. \u003cbr\u003e\nHis fame as a short story writer began with The Trembling of a Leaf, subtitled Little Stories of the South Sea Islands, in 1921, after which he published more than ten collections. His other works include travel books such as On a Chinese Screen, and Don Fernando, essays, criticism, and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writer's Notebook.\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 1927, he settled in the south of France, and lived there until his death in 1965.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780099288909\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.6 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":49114378305840,"sku":"Prakash_9780099288909","price":719.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/vintage-classics-book-default-title-points-of-view-38853660999984.jpg?v=1753014262","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/products\/points-of-view","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
