Comment on the following quotation:

The World is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page. St. Augustine

William 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.

After 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.

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. During and after the war, he travelled in India and Southeast Asia. On these travels Maugham picked up innumerable stories which fuelled his writing. For instance his most famous story, Rain (1921). All his best novels are written about artists: in Of Human Bondage the writer wrote about his own life, in The Moon and Sixpence (1919) he tells readers the story of the French Painter Paul Gaugin, Cakes and Ale (1930) is based on some facts from Thom Hardy’s life, the main character of Theatre (1938) is a London actress. Maugham’s position as a successful playwright was being consolidated at the same time. Plays of note by the writer include Our Betters (1917), The Circle (1921), and For Services Rendered (1932) which was vehemently antiwar and looked with distaste at the aftermath of World War I. He wrote about 29 plays, most of them were comedies.

3. Read the following extract from "Winter Cruise" by W. S. Maugham.

On a Round Trip

Captain Erdmann knew Miss Reid very little till the "Friedrich Weber" reached Haiti. She came on board at Plymouth, but by then he had taken on a number of passengers,

many of whom had travelled with before.

The "Friedrich Weber" was a freighter sailing regularly from Hamburg to the Colombian coast and on the way touching at a number of islands in the West Indies. She carried cement from Germany and took back coffee; but her owners were always willing to send her out of her route if that offered the chance of earning an honest penny. She carried passengers. There were six cabins on the upper deck and six below. The

accommodation was not luxurious, but the food was good, plain and abundant, and the fares were cheap. The round trip took nine weeks and was not costing Miss Reid more than forty-five pounds. She looked forward not only to seeing many interesting places with historical associations, but also to acquiring a great deal of information that would enrich her mind.

Miss Reid was a good sailor, as indeed was only to be expected since her grandfather had been a naval officer, but after a couple of roughish days the weather was fine and in a very short time she knew all her fellow-passengers. She was a good mixer. You met such interesting people, she said, and you always learnt something. She was a good reader but with so many people to talk to she had no time for reading and she made up her mind to leave the books till the ship emptied herself at Haiti.

Miss Reid had a great many interesting talks with her fellow-passengers and she was really sorry when the ship reached Port au Prince and the last of them disembarked. The "Friedrich Weber" stopped two days there. When they sailed she was the only passenger. The ship was skirting the coast of the island stopping off at a variety of ports to discharge or to take on cargo.

At last the journey drew to its close. They sailed up the English Channel on a still grey day; they sighted land. Miss Reid packed her trunk. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon they docked at Plymouth. The captain, the mate, and the doctor came along to say goodbye to her. "You've been very kind to me... I shall never forget you," — she dried her eyes and slowly walked down the companion. When she reached the quay she looked up and waved to them.
