Memoir: Somerset Maugham looks back at his life in literature. Of course, his life was far from over-he was to live a further twenty-seven years! Maugham has written "an account of himself, his chosen profession and its practitioners; and he has done so with a lucidity, a simplicity, a euphony, and a liveliness that should win the admiration and gratitude of all literate and discriminating readers." -Terence Holliday, Saturday Review, 26 March 1938

Good. Good condition. (english literature, essays) A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
This is a compelling work by one of the world's best-known authors. I first read it nearly 50 years ago, shortly after it was published, and I'm reading it again now. Though it is not an autobiography, it's autobiographical in nature and includes many of Maugham's perceptive comments about people, places and ideas. It's well worth your time, is very accessible and belongs on every bookshelf.
