British novelist, playwright, short-story writer, highest paid author in the world in the 1930s. Despite his popularity, he did not gain serious recognition. This was expressed in his autobiography THE SUMMING UP (1938), that he stood 'in the very first row of the second-raters'. His skill in handling plot has been compared by critics in the manner of Guy de Maupassant. In many novels the surroundings are international and the stories are told in clear, economical style with cynical or resigned undertone.

hectorberlioz · 10-31-2006, 06:32 PM

The author would be W. Somerset Maugham, correct?
