William Somerset Maugham (Paris 1874 - Nizza 1965) studierte Medizin in Heidelberg und London. Später reiste er viel (u.a. in den Fernen Osten) und nahm am Leben der internationalen Gesellschaft teil. Der Stil seiner Erzählungen lehnt sich an der gesprochenen Sprache an - oft gewürzt mit geistreich-witziger, bisweilen auch zynischer Lebenskritik. Maughams literarische Vorbilder waren Guy de Maupassant und Anton Tschechow.
