威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆（William Somerset Maugham,1874 -1965)，英国小说家，剧作家，被誉为“故事圣手”。

生于巴黎，十岁前父母双亡，由叔叔接回英国抚养，因身材矮小，说话结巴，总被同龄人欺凌，性格孤僻敏感。

18岁在伦敦学医，后弃医从文。23岁时发表首部小说《兰贝斯的丽莎》，从此走上文学创作的道路。人生经历奇特，他做过助产，做过间谍，做过演员，做过救护车司机；他做过丈夫，做过情人，拒绝过女人的求婚，他的求婚也被另一个女人拒绝；他自称“四分之三喜欢女人，只有四分之一喜欢男人”。

在文学界，毛姆是一个优雅、老到、冷漠的人性观察者，几乎每一个人都能在他的故事中看到自己，这也让毛姆成为二十世纪炙手可热的作家。

作者简介

William Somerset Maugham nWilliam Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874-16 December 1965) was a British playwright， novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. nAfter losing both his parents by the age of 10， Maugham was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. Not wanting to become a lawyer like other men in his family， Maugham eventually trained and qualified as a doctor. The first run of his first novel， Liza of Lambeth (1897)， sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. n During the First World War， he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps， before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service， for which he worked in Switzerland and Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. During and after the war， he traveled in India and Southeast Asia; all of these experiences were reflected in later short stories and novels.
