About This Item

London: William Heinemann, 1946. 1st. hardback. Very good, 1st edition, no d/j, text block firm, thick pages unmarked with colours bright; some foxing; all edges gilt.. 12mo (190 x 130 / 7_"" x 5""). Maugham found a parallel to the turmoil of his own times in the duplicity, intrigue and sensuality of the Italian Renaissance. Then and Now enters the world of Machiavelli, and covers three important months in the career of that crafty politician, worldly seducer and high priest of schemers.

Synopsis

W. Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He began to study medicine in London but quit to focus exclusively on writing. In 1926 he bought a house in Cap Ferrat, France, which was to become a meeting place for a number of writers, artists and politicians. He died in 1965.
