    Extractions: (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933]) The speaker is Death There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture, now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating getsture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra. There is a brief Study Guide for this narrative. But you should not take it up until you have reread this little story a few times. What are some of the details that, on reflection, help to make this exact way of telling the story intriguing?

He spent some time at St. Thomas's Hospital with the idea of 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 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. In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965. Novels Liza of Lambeth Mrs Craddock The Magician Of Human Bondage ...

W hen I was young I was amazed at Plutarch's statement that the elder Cato began at the age of eighty to learn Greek. I am amazed no longer. Old age is ready to undertake tasks that youth shirked because they would take too long. T he ideal has many names, and beauty is but one of them. C ommon sense and nature will do a lot to make the pilgrimage of life not too difficult. P eople who ask for your criticism want only praise. T here is no explanation for evil. It must be looked upon as a necessary part of the order of the universe. To ignore it is childish, to bewail it senseless. I t is dangerous to let the public behind the scenes. They are easily disillusioned and then they are angry with you, for it was the illusion they loved. T here are two good things in life freedom of thought and freedom of action. T he unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.

Somerset Maugham had a varied professional life that included obstetrics and a stint as a secret agent during World War I. The success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), persuaded him to quit medicine for writing. He is most famous for four novels, Of Human Bondage The Moon and Sixpence Cakes and Ale (1930), and The Razor's Edge (1944). His plays were popular in their day and at one time four of them ran simultaneously in London. His short stories are considered among the best in English. Died: Nice, France

    Extractions: an ARTSJOURNAL ArtsJournal Home AJ Blog Central Main Last fall, when The Letter opera was still a wee twinkle, I had tapas with Terry and Maud in New York. It was a lovely sunny day, and we talked a lot about Somerset Maugham over lunch. Enough so that afterward I tried to track down a copy of "The Letter" at Three Lives . No luck, but I did get the first volume of Maugham's collected short stories, containing the devastating story "Rain," which I read over the next few days. That set me off on a Maugham kick that lasted several months. The usual suspects: Human Bondage (half a great novel) and Cakes and Ale (a very happy re-read). The strangest entry in the Maugham-a-thon was a little-known novel called The Magician . Written early in Maugham's career, it's a purple, pulpish Gothic set in turn-of-the-century Paris. In it, two lovers are separated when the "sinister and repulsive" magician Oliver Haddo appears on the scene, sets his sights on the beautiful Margaret, bewitches her and draws her into a vile, debauched lifestyle abroad (to the modern reader the descriptions of this lifestyle will suggest that Margaret has gone Eurotrash). It just gets weirder from there. How weird? Secret-laboratory-of-succubi weird.

    Extractions: Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset Maugham skip to main skip to sidebar A reading challenge for all interested in exploring authors who were kicked out of the "in" crowd. Owning a blog isn't required. Of Human Bondage recounts the first 30 years in the life of Philip Carey, from the sudden death of his adored and adoring mother, to his decision to marry and to settle on a career as a doctor. This is a quiet book, and Maugham's writing is deceptively spare and plain. His meaning is always clear so the story progresses swiftly, unobstructed by authorial cleverness. I found it absolutely gripping while I was reading it, despite the fact that Philip is not always sympathetic or even likeable. The story draws heavily on episodes from Maugham's own life: he was an orphan, he hated the boarding school to which he was sent, he attended university in Germany, he studied medicine; all these episodes are reproduced in the book. In addition, Philip Carey suffers from a club-foot, a physical disfigurement that perhaps stands in for the stutter that plagued Maugham throughout his life. And, Philip is a sharp-tongued, angry youth who does not make friends easily, another characteristic that he shares with Maugham. In the Foreword to my edition, Maugham says: Of Human Bondage is not an autobiography, but an autobiographical novel; fact and fiction are inextricably mingled; the emotions are my own but not all the incidents are related as they happened and some of them are transferred to my hero not from my own life but from that of persons with whom I was intimate. The book did for me what I wanted and when it was issued to the world ... I found myself free forever from the pains and unhappy recollections that had tormented me.
