William Somerset Maugham (1934)

William Somerset Maugham (lahir di Paris, 25 Januari 1874, meninggal di Cap Ferrat, 16 Desember 1965) adalah seorang penulis sandiwara, roman, dan cerita pendek yang berasal dari Inggris. [1] Walaupun ia lahir di Paris, W. Somerset Maugham sebenarnya merupakan keturunan Irlandia.[2] Ia berbicara dengan gagap.[2] Dalam studinya, ia menerima pendidikan sekolah umum klasik di London.[2] Kemudian ia belajar filsafat dan sastra di Universitas Heidelberg.[2] Kemudian ia belajar di London dan menekuni bidang barunya sebagai seorang ahli bedah di Rumah Sakit St. Thomas.[2] Ia juga membuka praktik medisnya di daerah kaum kumuh di daerah East End.[2] Di tempat inilah ia menemukan ide serta menuliskan sebagian besar novel Liza of Lambeth pada tahun 1897.[2] Kemudian ia menuliskan novel otobiografinya yang berjudul Of Human Boundage dan terbit pada tahun 1915.[2]

Setelah tulisan-tulisan itu, karya-karya literaturnya semakin bermunculan.[2] Karya-karyanya biasanya berkarakteristik sinis, secara terperinci dilukiskannya berbagai kelemahan dan maksud-maksud terselubung dalam diri manusia.[1] Sebagian besar karyanya juga sudah difilmkan atau diolah untuk pertunjukan televisi.[1] Karya-karyanya natara lain naskah sandiwara The Circle pada tahun 1921, The Bread Winner pada tahun 1930, The Razor's edge pada tahun 1944.[1] Kumpulan cerita pendek yang diterbitkan antara lain Orientations' pada tahun 1899, First Person Singular tahun 1931.[1] Ada juga beberapa autobiografi yakni The Summing Up pada tahun 1938, Strictly Personal tahun 1941, A Writers Notebook pada tahun 1949, dan Points of View pada tahun 1958.[1]
