Description

Here it is—the most famous novel by W. Somerset Maugham, a novel about an actress, Julia Lambert. For her, the theater was life, and her life became an endless theatrical game. The author knew the theater and its relationships firsthand: both as a great playwright and as a spy agent. Using a literary form, he conveys all the theatrical effects and “camouflage” techniques. In the novel, a creative, magical combination can be seen: deceptive simplicity on the surface, and extraordinary philosophical depth that becomes visible later.
