William Somerset Maugham was a great English novelist and short-story writer. Though he has been 16
dead
(die) for 60 years, his books are not out of date. Still, they 17
are loved
(love) by plenty of people.
Born in Paris, France, Maugham lost his parents at an early age. Then he was sent to the UK to live with his uncle. Later, he studied at King's School, Canterbury. 18
Because
he had a stammer(结巴), his classmates often laughed at him. That hurt him deeply. In 1892, he went to Heidelberg University in Germany. A year later, he returned 19
to
England and entered St. Thomas' Medical School in London and became a doctor in 1897. That same year, he wrote his first novel Liza of Lambeth, and its success encouraged him 20
to give
(give) up medicine and take up writing.
Maugham once said, "There are three 21
rules
(rule) for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are." 22
Actually
(actual), he wrote many great novels. One of his 23
most famous
(famous) novels is Of Human Bondage. It 24
tells
(tell) the story of a young man trying to find out the meaning of life. Another popular novel is The Moon and Sixpence. It is loosely based on(大致上是根据) the life of Paul Gauguin, 25
an
artist from France.
Maugham's works were popular for his simple style(风格) of writing, as well as his deep understanding of human nature. His style inspired several other writers like Ian Fleming and George Orwell.
