The Circle by Somerset Maugham

Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) is best known as a novelist and short story writer, especially remembered for charting the last days of the British Empire in the Far East. He was also a highly appreciated playwright in his day, writing many works for the stage as well as film adaptations. As a writer, Maugham typically took the role of detached observer, standing somewhat removed from the action and watching unmoved as human drama unfolded around him. Though Maugham himself lamented a plain vocabulary and described his work as being “in the very first row of the second-raters,” his restrained prose is now better appreciated. As for Maugham’s plays, critics today identify The Circle (1921) as his most brilliant, witty and complex work.
