Román klasika anglické literatury z roku 1919 byl inspirován životem geniálního francouzského malíře Paula Gauguina. Jeho osud se odráží v osudech hlavního hrdiny románu Charlese Stricklanda, burzovního makléře, který ve čtyřiceti letech zdánlivě bez příčiny odchází od své ženy a dětí. Po radikální změně prostředí a nástupu na nejistou malířskou dráhu se ocitá v bídě a často na pokraji smrti. ­Maugham s naturalistickou přesností a s jedinečným vypravěčským mistrovstvím líčí, jak Strickland ničí nejen sebe, ale i své blízké okolí neurvalým chováním, nezájmem a tyranskou arogancí. Přestože se nestaví na jeho stranu, omlouvá jeho projevy uměleckou genialitou, kterou v jeho době málokdo rozpoznal. Když se vypravěč po válce dostane na Tahiti, poslední Stricklandovu štaci, setkává se s poněkud mírnějším a usedlejším Stricklandovým obrazem. Malíř našel místo, kde mohl tvořit, ženu, která se o něj postarala i v jeho poslední chvíli, a na sklonku života se přiblížil tolik kýžené dokonalosti, po níž celý život prahl a jež se mu stala jediným životním cílem. Román líčí složité putování umělce hledajícího dokonalou krásu, kvůli níž je ochoten jít za hranice morálky, kvůli níž vsadí bez váhání vše, aby alespoň na okamžik nalezl to, co ho celý život zneklidňovalo a nutilo hledat.

Though W. Somerset Maugham was also famous for his novels and plays, it has been argued that in the short story he reached the pinnacle of his art and it was his true métier. These expertly told tales, with their addictive plot twists and vividly drawn characters, are both galvanizing as literature and wonderfully entertaining. In the adventures of his alter ego Ashenden, a writer who (like Maugham himself) turned secret agent in World War I, as well as in stories set in such far-flung locales as South Pacific islands and colonial outposts in Southeast Asia, Maugham brings his characters vividly to life, and their humanity is more convincing for the author''s merciless exposure of their flaws and failures. Whether the chasms of misunderstanding he plumbs are those between colonizers and natives, between a missionary and a prostitute, or between a poetry-writing woman and her uncomprehending husband, Maugham brilliantly displays his irony, his wit, and his genius in the art of storytelling.

When war broke out in 1914, Somerset Maugham was dispatched by the British Secret Service to Switzerland under the guise of completing a play. Multilingual, knowledgeable about many European countries and a celebrated writer, Maugham had the perfect cover, and the assignment appealed to his love of romance, and of the ridiculous. The stories collected in Ashenden are rooted in Maugham''s own experiences as an agent, reflecting the ruthlessness and brutality of espionage, its intrigue and treachery, as well as its absurdity.

The third volume of Somerset Maugham''s Collected Short Stories, introduced by the author, contains the celebrated series about Ashenden, a secret service agent in World War I. Based on Maugham''s own experiences with the British Intelligence service in Switzerland, the stories are vignettes in which he dramatises both the romance and absurdity of espionage as well as its ruthlessness and brutality. Accountable only to ''R'', Ashenden travels all over the Continent on assignments which entangle him with such characters as the traitor Grantley Caypor, the passionate Guilia Lazzari, and the sinister ''hairless Mexican''.

Román vyšel poprvé v roce 1930 a čtenáři v postavě spisovatele Edwarda Driffielda záhy odhalili skutečného romanopisce Thomase Hardyho. Děj se odehrává od devadesátých let 19. století do konce dvacátých let století 20., kdy je vypravěč, rovněž spisovatel William Ashenden, požádán svým kolegou Alroyem Kearem o pomoc se sepsáním životopisu nedávno zesnulého Driffielda. Maugham byl vynikajícím pozorovatelem a dokonale poznal prostředí umělců a vůbec lidí z vyšších vrstev. Ve svém románu vykresluje s precizností a vtipem nejen události a společenské prostředí, ale především konkrétní lidské charaktery. Mistrně vylíčil zejména Driffieldovu první manželku Rosie, která je centrální postavou románu. Rosie je zosobněním nespoutané, bezprostřední a živelné ženskosti, která vybočuje z konvenčních společenských norem a je často kvůli své uvolněné morálce, prostotě a „obyčejnosti“ trnem v oku lidí z vyšší společnosti. Román, napsaný před necelým stoletím, je i pro dnešního čtenáře poutavý díky mistrovskému vypravěčství a dokonale propracované psychologii postav. Česky byl titul publikován poprvé v roce 1975, nyní vychází v revidovaném vydání již jako třetí svazek z Maughamovy tvorby v edici Pozdní sběr.

In this second volume of his collected stories, Maugham illustrates his characteristic wry perception of human foibles and his genius for evoking compelling drama from an acute sense of time and place.

Far Eastern Tales is a collection of short stories born of Maugham''s experiences in Malaya, Singapore and other outposts of the former British Empire. Whether portraying a ship-borne flight from a lover''s curse, murder in the jungle, or a marriage shattered by a past indiscretion, they all reveal Maugham at his best - sometimes caustic, sometimes gently comic, but always the shrewd and human judge of character and soul.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY PAUL THEROUXSomerset Maugham''s success as a writer enabled him to indulge his adventurous love of travel, and he recorded the sights and sounds of his wide-ranging journeys with an urbane, wry style all his own. The Gentleman in the Parlour is an account of the author''s trip through what was then Burma and Siam, ending in Haiphong, Vietnam. Whether by river to Mandalay, on horse through the mountains and forests of the Shan States to Bangkok, or onwards by sea, Maugham''s vivid descriptions bring a lost world to life.

Maugham spent the winter months of 1919 travelling fifteen hundred miles up the Yangtze river. Always more interested in people than places, he noted down acute and finely crafted sketches of those he met on countless scraps of paper. In the resulting collection we encounter Western missionaries, army officers and company managers who are culturally out of their depth in the immensity of the Chinese civilisation. Maugham keenly observes, and gently ridicules, their dogged and oblivious persistence with the life they know.

Ústředními postavami románu, jehož děj se odehrává v britské koloniální Číně, jsou mladí manželé zcela odlišných charakterů - oddaně milující introvertní muž, povoláním lékařem, a jeho žena, dívka z anglické lepší rodiny, která do manželství vstoupila bez lásky, zato se snahou změnit prostředí a své společenské postavení. V důsledku náhodně odhalené manželčiny nevěry čelí nesourodý manželský pár krizi a žena je donucena odjet s manželem do čínského vnitrozemí, kde propukla epidemie cholery. Tíživé životní podmínky boje s epidemií a všudypřítomnost smrti podstatně ovlivní jejich životy a vzájemný vztah… Maugham je znalcem lidských charakterů a mistrem psychologie postav. Pod poutavým dějem a dramatickou zápletkou se tak před čtenářovým zrakem odehrává ještě něco jiného, působivějšího: vnitřní proměna povrchní mladé ženy v osobnost se smyslem pro skutečné hodnoty a pochopení druhých. Barevný závoj byl několikrát zfilmován. V zatím poslední verzi z roku 2006 excelují hollywoodské hvězdy Naomi Watts a Edward Norton. Česky byl román publikován už v roce 1929, nyní vychází již podruhé v novém překladu Pavla Pokorného v edici Současná světová próza.

For nearly sixty years Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was one of the most famous writers in the world. An enormously successful playwright and the author of over a hundred short stories and twenty-one novels - several of which are now established classics - Maugham expertly concealed a private life. Predominantly homosexual, and deeply in love with the charming but dissolute Gerald Haxton, he made a disastrous marriage to Syrie Wellcome which he would escape by travelling and writing extensively in the Far East. A talented linguist, during both world wars Maugham worked for British Intelligence. In between he moved in literary and theatrical circles in London, New York and Hollywood and entertained lavishly at his luxurious villa in the south of France. Outwardly his life was richly rewarding, but privately he suffered anguish from an unrequited love affair and a shocking final betrayal.Acclaimed biographer Selina Hastings has had access to Maugham''s extensive private correspondence as well as to important family testimony, which sheds a fascinating new light on this complex and extraordinary man.

Somerset is renowned for its churches, many built on the wealth of the wool industry in this area in the Middle Ages. Bath, Glastonbury and Wells were powerful ecclesiastical centres in this period, but there are many fascinating and beautiful churches to be found throughout the county’s towns and villages, whether small and humble, grand or unusual. The churches are to be found in a wide variety of landscapes, from the Mendip and Quantock hills, Exmoor, the Bristol Channel coastline and the edge of Bristol, to the flat marshy areas of the Levels and agricultural river valleys. The distinctive Somerset church towers can be seen throughout the county and often a wealth of mediaeval carving welcomes the visitor. Later buildings from the Georgian and Victorian era show the changing identity of areas where industry developed and population grew into today’s many faces of Somerset.In Churches of Somerset, author Phil Draper explores a cross-section of historical churches throughout the county, both the well known and those waiting to be discovered by a wider audience.

The Somerset & Dorset Railway, known as the S&D (said to also stand for ‘Slow and Dirty’ or ‘Serene and Delightful’), ran from Bath across the Mendip hills to Bournemouth on the south coast. Never a high-speed line, the main traffic for the Somerset & Dorset during the winter months was freight and local passenger traffic. In the summer, however, there was heavy traffic as Saturday holiday services from the northern industrial towns passed along the line.In 1962, John Betjeman travelled along the Somerset & Dorset from Evercreech Junction to Highbridge and Burnham-on-Sea, making a BBC documentary called Branch Line Railway, in which he pleaded for the line to be spared from the Beeching cuts. However, despite an active campaign to save it, and the promise by the new Labour government that there would be no more railway cutbacks, on 7 March 1966 the whole line was closed. 2016 will see the fiftieth anniversary of the closure of this much-mourned railway; here in this well-illustrated book, the history of the line is preserved.

West Somerset is an area of great geological diversity, straddling the Tees–Exe Line between highland and lowland Britain. The story of the last 400 million years of Earth history can be gleaned from its rocks: the opening and closing of oceans, the collision of continents and a journey across the Equator. The area may also provide the key to settle the controversy about the origin of South-West England, whose ancient geology is so different from the rest of the country. This unique and diverse geology is also the reason why it is one of the most beautiful and varied stretches of landscape in England. With nearly 170 illustrations, including maps, charts, diagrams and colour photographs, this book describes and explains the evidence for the geological history of the area, from the Palaeozoic, through the Mesozoic to the Pleistocene and Holocene. Regional guides, which discuss the factors that led to the landscape we see today and offer places of interest to visit, cover: the Northern Brendon Hills and Minehead; the Southern Brendon Hills; Wellington and the Blackdown Hills; Wiveliscombe and the Vale of Stogumber; the Quantock Hills; West Somerset coast and the Cannington and Bridgwater Lowlands.

This nostalgic, humorous and richly illustrated volume celebrates the Somerset of years gone by. Syd Durston was seven when the Second World War broke out. As well as causing panic in Britain’s cities, the war transformed life in the countryside in all sorts of ways. This is how one boy remembers life in rural Somerset during that time, where from ‘the age of ten you were at school between 9 a.m. and noon, and then you could work on the land until 8 p.m.’. It is an elegy to the levels and the moors, and the rich diversity of wildlife that could once be found in the fields – ‘thousands of grasshoppers, large and small, hopping everywhere, butterflies of all kinds feeding on the red clovers that were now in flower; the smell of the honeysuckle and the dog roses in the hedges’ – and a lament for the landscapes and ways of life that we have now lost. From the outbreak of war to the drama of D-Day, Syd – whose watercolour paintings, many of which illustrate this collection, aim to show the reality of farming life as it was then – captures a moment in history as it ...

Somerset has a varied landscape, from upland Exmoor to the low-lying wetland levels and moors, and the mineral rich Mendips to the agricultural land of South Somerset. This diversity has shaped, and been shaped by, our predecessors – millions of people who have lived and worked in the area. Often, the only traces of these people’s lives are the small objects they left behind, from the stone tools of prehistoric people to the remains of Roman trade and fashions and medieval and post-medieval objects reflecting prosperity and conflict.In recent years the Portable Antiquities Scheme has recorded thousands of objects found by members of the public and these have helped to enhance, and often reshape, our knowledge of the past. Discoveries by members of the public have brought new sites to light and have led to further research and understanding.
