W. Somerset Maugham Biography of W. Somerset Maugham :

William Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874 – 16 December 1965) was a major English playwright, novelist and short story writer. He is best known for his works Human Bondage,The Letter,Rain and The Razor\'s Edge. In fact, he is known to be the highest paid author during the 1930s.


Maugham\'s father Robert Maugham was a lawyer who worked at the British embassy in Paris, France. His grandfather was also a known lawyer and had also co-founded the English Law Society. Since Maugham belonged to a family of lawyers it was given that he and his brothers would follow suit.


Maugham\'s mother Edith Mary had Tuberculosis (TB). The doctor prescribed childbirth as a cure. It was then Maugham was brought to this world. Being the youngest child he was raised as an only child since his brothers were away at boarding school. Two years after Edith\'s death, Maugham\'s dad, a cancer patient passed away.
Maugham was then sent to England to be raised by his uncle who was emotionally cruel. In his school too Maugham was teased for his poor English (French was his first language) and his short stature. Maugham also developed a stammer that is said to have stayed with him all his life.


Feeling miserable both at his uncle\'s residence and in school, Maugham started passing caustic remarks to those he could not stand. In fact, many of Maugham\'s characters too are like that. At 16, his uncle permitted him to travel to Germany, where he explored literature, philosophy and German. It was also during this time he had a sexual affair with John Ellingham Brooks, an Englishman who was 10 years senior to him. Later his uncle found Maugham a position in an accountant\'s office, but he gave it up soon. He studied medicine at St Thomas\' Hospital in Lambeth, London for the next five years.


Critics stated that the years he spent studying medicine led to a creative drain but Maugham has valued his experience as a medical student: "I saw how men died. I saw how they bore pain. I saw what hope looked like, fear and relief ..."
