Somerset  Maugham. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780140186000.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE SUMMING UP represents Maughams life and philosophy in his own words. It is autobiographical in nature, though most of the work is concerned with Maughams unique and fascinating opinions on the theatre, writing, metaphysics and the interesting people he encountered in his long and successful career. His style is very conversational and you feel yourself settling into an intellectual odyssey led by a man who lived life to its fullest. Sixty years after THE SUMMING UP was published, Maughams controversial insights and opinions continue to stimulate conversation and debate. This is one of the most entertaining, self-revealing pieces of all time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44632295145525,"sku":"ByrdShop_014018600X","price":90.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_014018600X_65ddb0e3-7082-4a5e-ab54-1797cf7b8488.jpg?v=1781433766","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/summing-up-9780140186000","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
