“There are three rules for 

                                                               writing a novel.

                                                              Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.”
― William Somerset Maugham

    

  First of all, there are some facts about William Somerset Maugham. He was not only a novelist, but also a one of the most successful dramatist and short-story writers. He was born in Paris in 1874. His parents died when he was very little and the boy was brought up by his uncle.

     As you may know, Somerset Maugham was the master of the short, concise novel and he could convey relationships, greed and ambition with a startling reality. 

     I really adore most of his short stories.
