William Somerset Maugham
a famous British novelist, playwright and short storywriter. He was among the most popular writers of his aera and the Queen of England gave him the title of "Squire of Honour"
Marriage and family
In May 1917, Syrie Wellcome and Maugham were married. Syrie Maugham became a noted interior decorator. Their daughter was familiarly called Liza and her surname was changed to Maugham. Syrie finally divorced him in 1929
Then he attended The King's School Canterbury.
He was bullied because he was small and had a stammer.It left a shadow on his soul and developed his withdrawn character.
The "moon" is a symbol of lofty ideals, while the "sixpence" is a symbol of petty profits. These are two very different views of life.
The author explores the novel's profound themes through the conflict between the gifted artist and the reality he seeks to escape.
