W. Somerset Maugham 
Three Early Novels (Barnes & Noble Library of Essential Reading) 
Liza of Lambeth, Mrs Craddock, The Magician

Ajutor


The three novels in this collection,
Liza of Lambeth (1897),
Mrs Craddock (1902), and
The Magician (1908), had a lasting influence on the literary world. Their settings are various–ranging from the South London slums through the Kentish countryside to the British expatriate community in early twentieth-century Paris–and yet they have common qualities. In each, the protagonist is isolated from a traditional community and unable to create new personal relationships that might enable survival in a changing society. The three novels thus dramatize a dilemma Maugham faced in his own life and one that is the central theme of much modern literature.

Despre autor



W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) is best known as a playwright and short-story writer. He was born in Paris, orphaned at ten, and abruptly transported first to the house of a provincial English clergyman uncle and then to the harsh environment of a British boarding school. A closeted homosexual moving in bohemian circles in London and Paris, Maugham took his revenge on his past suffering and present insecurities through fiction.
