William Maugham, a British novelist, and playwright was born on January 25, 1874, in Paris. British dramatist and novelist William Somerset Maugham was one of the best-known and highly paid authors of his day.

His writing style and acute and accurate insight and assessment of human nature made his work popular. Several writers, including Ian Fleming and George Orwell, were inspired by his individuality. Orwell credited Maugham for inspiring him more than any other writer, noting that he appreciated the direct storytelling style of the author as well.

By introducing a fictionalized image of Maugham in his work ‘Earthly Powers,’ Anthony Burgess acknowledged Maugham’s effect on him. For his short stories, he is best known for depicting the lives of Western colonists, mainly British, in the Far East.

As a result of their solitary situation, the colonists’ feelings were amply conveyed through the stories they wrote. In addition to his work as a novelist, Maugham was a notable travel writer during the interwar period.

A voyage to Burma, Siam, Cambodia, and Vietnam is the subject of his book The Gentleman in the Parlour. In this genre, it is widely considered to be Maugham’s best work to date. Additionally, a number of his works have been made into television and radio shows as well.
