William Somerset Maugham was born on January 25, 1874 in Paris. His father is a lawyer of the British embassy. At the age of ten, his parents have passed away, so his uncle raised him in UK. Studying at the King’s School Canterbury, he was bullied and suffered a lot for his stammer. All these made him solitary, sensitive and diffidence. From his literary works, we can see how deep his childhood influenced him. When he spent a year studying at Heidelberg, he got a chance to enter St. Thomas’ medical school, London. He acknowledged the living conditions of the lower class people there during his five years internship and learned to observe life with cold and sharp eyes. His works which described marriage, family and love were popular for his capacity of his deep understanding of human nature. From millionaire, old patrician, actress to bank clerk, his description of those characters when they are generous, nervous or happy best illustrate his comprehension on the inner self of human beings.
