Somerset Maugham - The Making Of A Saint: \"The great tragedy of life is not that men perish, but that they cease to love.\"","description":"William Somerset Maugham was born on 25 January 1874 and was to become a playwright and novelist of staggering talent. Losing both his parents at age 10, he was raised by a paternal uncle. Maugham eventually trained and qualified as a doctor. The initial print run of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. His life was certainly full as the short biography at the end of this book will attest to, but it is also a life full of marvellous works and dedication to his art as 'The Making Of A Saint' reveals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Somerset Maugham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783948299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783948291\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Word to the Wise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/06\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 162\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.35d","brand":"William Somerset Maugham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938031927551,"sku":"9781783948291","price":12.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_965259d7-c31b-4015-8468-f13c2de4750c.jpg?v=1681433344","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/w-somerset-maugham-the-william-somerset-maugham-9781783948291","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
