Somerset Maugham So right off the bat, I'm thinking here's a guy who I'm reasonably confident doesn't have much to teach me about life. Here is Philip's great epiphany, while sitting in a London park: ...it came to him that the gaping sightseers and the fat strangers with their guide-books, and all those mean, common people who thronged the shop, with their trivial desires and vulgar cares, were mortal and must die. they too loved and must part from those they loved, the son from his mother, the wife from her husband; and perhaps it was more tragic because their lives were ugly and sordid, and they knew nothing that gave beauty to the world. and so, this warped little man, sitting on his park bench, decides: There was no meaning in life, and man by living served no end. It was immaterial whether he was born, whether he lived or ceased to live. Life was insignificant and death without consequence. Philip exulted, as he had exulted in his boyhood when the weight of a belief in God was lifted from

@import url("css/iereview.css"); Search WWW Search brothersjudd.com Home Reviews Links Blog ... The Moon and Sixpence Author Info: W. Somerset Maugham This is one of those books that I find particularly hard to assess. On the one hand, it is eminently, even compulsively, readable. On the other, it is animated by ideas that range from the merely silly to the truly destructive. Maugham announces early on his view of art: ...art is a manifestation of emotion, and emotion speaks a language that all may understand. and the artist: To my mind the most interesting thing in art is the personality of the artist; and if that is singular, I am willing to excuse a thousand faults. In the first place, the view of art, though wholly consistent with modern understanding, is precisely wrong. Great art is not fundamentally emotional, especially not an expression of the artist's emotions. It is instead intellectual, and what makes it great is that the ideas that it presents are universal and evoke universal emotions. What Maugham is praising is the subjective and the personal in art, that which requires either a visceral reaction devoid of thought or a knowledge of the artist's mood at the time he was working theory or an understanding of the theory he labored under. Tom Wolfe, in his twin works The Painted Word From Bauhaus to Our House (1981)(read Orrin's review ) has done a better job than I ever could of demonstrating that this trend in Modern Art has lead to a point where the artwork itself is superfluous, what matters most is the theory. Similarly, Maugham's attitude seems to be that the artist's personality is more important that the work he produces. It is a short line from this idea to the wretched excesses of artists like Jackson Pollack to the famous for fame's sake nature of someone like Andy Warhol. These people no longer produce Art; they produce their own personalities, then the glitterati and the critics buy their work and inflate it into "art." Along the way they create a truly disturbed cycle of dependency which requires the artist to demonstrate his genius by increasingly aberrant behavior and the patron to demonstrate his appreciation by tolerating or even encouraging that behavior.

Maugham was an extremely productive writer who both mastered and gained popular success with novels, short stories, and plays. In 1908, he had four plays running simultaneously on the London stage; before he died, his novel Of Human Bondage (1915) had sold over ten million copies; and from Orientations (1899) to Creatures of Circumstances (1947), he was regarded as a master of the well-made short story, especially for stories such as "Rain" and "The Colonel's Lady." Sponsor Message. Nevertheless, when assessing his long career, Maugham declared that he was "in the very first row of the second-rate." Maugham was born in Paris, the son of the solicitor and legal adviser to the British embassy. Orphaned by the age of ten, he was sent to Whitstable, Kent, to be cared for by his uncle. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, which later received his books, some manuscripts, an endowment, and his ashes; at Heidelberg University, where he did not take a degree; and St. Thomas's Hospital, London. In 1897, he received his medical MRCS and LRCP, but the success of his first novel

Famous Quotes By: Maugham, W. Somerset 1874-1965 British Novelist Playwright I would sooner read a timetable or a catalog than nothing at all. Maugham, W. Somerset Books - Reading There are two good things in life freedom of thought and freedom of action. Maugham, W. Somerset Freedom It seems that the creative faculty and the critical faculty cannot exist together in their highest perfection. Maugham, W. Somerset Creativity No one can write a best seller by trying to. He must write with complete sincerity; the clichs that make you laugh, the hackneyed characters, the well-worn situations, the commonplace story that excites your derision, seem neither hackneyed, well worn nor commonplace to him. The conclusion is obvious: you cannot write anything that will convince unless you are yourself convinced. The best seller sells because he writes with his heart's blood. Maugham, W. Somerset Books - Bestsellers If a nation values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom: and the irony of it is that if it is comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that, too.

W(illiam) Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) W. Somerset Maugham was born in Paris as the sixth and youngest son of the solicitor to the British embassy. He learned French as his native tongue. At the age of 10 Maugham was orphaned and sent to England to live with his uncle, the vicar of Whitestable. Educated at King's School , Canterbury, and Heidelberg University in Germany, Maugham then studied six years medicine in London. He qualified in 1897 as a doctor from St. Thomas' medical school.

"Contrary to common belief, is more powerful in the mature than in the young." Orphaned at age 10, Maugham was a shy child who spoke with a stutter and used his lonely childhood experiences to create stories with first-person narration. With precision, he wrote his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, during his final year in medical school. Maugham was known for his clear, clean writing style. George Orwell called Maugham his biggest influence and said he"admired (Maugham) immensely for his power of telling a story straightforwardly and without frills."
