Biografie des Schriftstellers von Colin de la MotteSherman
http://mitglied.lycos.de/eratonet/de/w_s_maugham.htm

Extractions: Die letzten Jahre des 19. Jahrhunderts waren unter anderem durch den Prozeß gegen den schwulen Schriftstelle Oscar Wilde geprägt. Nur ein Jahr nach 'Liza" erschien Wildes 'Ballad of Reading Gaol" - so war der Name des Gefängnisses, in dem Wilde einsaß. Durch die Schilderung der Geschehnisse waren viele Schriftsteller eingeschüchtert. Das war unter anderem ein Grund dafür, daß E.M. Forster seinen 1914 beendeten Roman 'Maurice" erst nach seinem Tode veröffentlicht wissen wollte. Zurück in London bei seiner Frau der inzwischen geborenen Tochter, benutzte er seine Aufzeichnung als Stoff für ein neues Buch. „Der Mond und das Sixpence-stück" erschien 1919. Darin schildert er Möchtegern-Maler, der alles hinwirft, seine Familie verlaßt und sein Gluck auf Tahiti sucht. Auch hier finden deutliche Bezüge zu Maugham eigener Biographie. Die Verbindung zu Haxton riß nie ganz ab; in Chicago traf er ihn wieder, und reiste mit ihm durch China und Südostasien. Bei einem Schiffsunglück kamen beide knapp mit dem Leben davon. Nach der Trennung von seine Frau kaufte Somerset Maugham die Villa "Mauresque" in Südfrankreich um dort in Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit schreiben und mit Haxton leben zu können. Haxton nämlich, 1915 in einem Prozeß wegen Homosexualität wurde zwar freigesprochen, war dennoch in England zur persona non grata erklärt worden; der Zugang nach England war ihm somit auf Dauer verwehrt. In ihrer Villa wurden beide häufig von Künstlern, Schriftstellern und anderen berühmten Persönlichkeiten ihrer Zeit besucht, darunter der König von Siam, die Königin von Spanien und der König von Schweden.

Extractions: William Somerset Maugham ( Some quotations: To the lover waiting for his love, no sound is sadder than the tardy striking of the hours. It is but seldom that a man loves one and for all; it may only show that his sexual instincts are not very strong. Human sorrow is like a child born in the night who sees the sun rise and thinks that yesterday never existed. The writer must be playful and serious at the same time. When you are in love what use it is to you if all you get in return is kindness, friendship, affection ? It is Dead Sea fruit that sticks in your throat. People will sometimes forgive you the good you have done them, but seldom the harm they have done you. Death is a very dull, dreary affair, and my advice to you is to have nothing whatsoever to do with it. People ask for criticism, but they only want praise. The unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones. Art for arts sake makes no more sense than gin for gins sake. There are two good things in life freedom of thought and freedom of action.

Extractions: William Somerset, Maugham Aufrichtigkeit ist wahrscheinlich die verwegenste Form der Tapferkeit. Bei einem Festmahl sollte man mit Verstand essen, aber nicht zu gut, und sich aber nicht mit zuviel Verstand unterhalten. Die meisten Menschen geben ihre Laster erst dann auf, wenn sie ihnen Beschwerden bereiten. Die Natur ist weise: Der Mensch hat zwei Ohren und nur eine Zunge. Er sollte doppelt so viel hören wie reden. Die Zeit ist ein guter Arzt, aber ein schlechter Kosmetiker. Es gibt drei goldene Regeln, um eine Novelle zu schreiben - leider sind sie unbekannt. Gelegentliche Ausschweifungen wirken anregend. Sie verhindern, dass Mäßigkeit zur Gewohnheit abstumpft. Jede Minute, die du missmutig verbringst, sind 60 verlorene Sekunden. Nach den Vorstellungen einer amerikanischen Frau ist der ideale Ehemann ein Butler mit dem Einkommen eines Generaldirektors. Von einer Frau kann man alles erfahren, wenn man keine Fragen stellt. Wenn man genug Erfahrung gesammelt hat, ist man zu alt, um sie auszunutzen. Zukunft ist etwas, das die Menschen erst lieben, wenn es Vergangenheit geworden ist.

THE RAZOR'S EDGE
Site explores the Larry Darrell character.
http://www.angelfire.com/electronic/bodhidharma/mentor.html

Extractions: W. Somerset Maugham, Sri Ramana Maharshi, Guy Hauge, and Zen "The man I am writing about is not famous. It may be that he never will be. It may be that when his life at last comes to an end he will leave no more trace of his sojourn on earth than a stone thrown into a river leaves on the surface of the water. But it may be that the way of life that he has chosen for himself and the peculiar strength and sweetness of his character may have an ever-growing influence over his fellow men so that, long after his death perhaps, it may be realized that there lived in this age a very remarkable creature." Many people have read the paperback Penguin Classic edition of the The Razor's Edge that in the preface mentions a man named Guy Hauge (sometimes spelled 'Hague') that has been suggested as possibly being the model for Maugham's main character Larry Darrell. In the same paragraph as the above quote Maugham writes, "I have invented nothing. To save embarrassment to people still living I have given to the persons who play a part in this story names of my own contriving, and I have in other ways taken pains to make sure that no one should recognize them." Maugham then goes on to say, "I think my book, within its acknowledged limitations, will be a useful source of information for my friend's biographers."
Somerset's Maugham Critcism
maugham's theories of writing, by Edward G. Green.
http://www.cyberg8t.com/somerset/maugham.html

Extractions: W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was a writing machine. He wrote and sold drama, novels, short stories, and essays. He began his career as a novelist, soon switched to drama, and at the age of 37 retired from writing for the stage and concentrated on the short story and novel forms. He continued writing and publishing until his death at 94. Over the course of his long literary career, Maugham developed strong opinions about the purpose and method of writing fiction which he put forth in the various introductions to his work and in autobiographical essays. A scholar as well as author, Maugham often looked to the work of his predecessors such as Checkov, Maupassant, and Poe for vindication of his own opinions. Although he often contradicted himself, his written declarations of the purpose and method of fiction (largely ignored by the critics) offer insight into the motivation for one of the most financially, if not critically, successful authors of his time. Maugham also published two complete books of essays, a collection of his personal notes from his writer's notebook, a book on the method of his extensive art collection, and many lectures, guides, and introductions to what he considered great literature in both English and French.

http://www.artsworld.com/books-film/biographies/m-o/w-somerset-maugham.html

Extractions: William Somerset Maugham was born in in Paris and lived there until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He afterwards walked the wards of St Thomas's Hospital with a view to practise in medicine, but the success of his first novel, 'Liza of Lambeth' (1897), won him over to letters. Something of his hospital experience is reflected, however, in the first of his masterpieces, 'Of Human Bondage' (1915), and with 'The Moon and Sixpence' (1919) his reputation as a novelist was assured. His position as one of the most successful playwrights on the London stage was being consolidated simultaneously. His first play, 'A Man of Honour' (1903), was followed by a procession of successes just before and after World War I. (At one point only Bernard Shaw had more plays running at the same time in London.) His theatre career ended with 'Sheppey' (1933).
