©Odhams Press/James Maycock. British author WILLIAM SOMERSET MAUGHAM
(1874-1965) wrote eight novels before publishing the partly autobiographical Of Human
Bondage (1915). His works also include The Moon and Sixpence (1919), based on the life of
artist Paul Gauguin, and The Razor's Edge (1944), the story of a young man's search for
spiritual meaning. Maugham was also a successful writer of plays, short stories and travelogues.
He worked secretly for several years, beginning in World War I, for the British intelligence
service MI-6, the inspiration for his story collection Ashenden (1928). Adequate contrast.
