William Maugham: The Summing Up

Аннотация к книге "The Summing Up"

A rare glimpse into the life and mind of one of the most enigmatic of 20th century authors

Autobiographical without being an autobiography, confessional without disclosing his private self, The Summing Up, written when Maugham was sixty-four, is an inimitable expression of a personal credo. It is not only a classic avowal of a professional author's ideas about style, literarture, art, drama and philosophy, but also an illuminating insight into this great writer's craft.
