Sinossi
CON UN'INTRODUZIONE DI NICHOLAS SHAKESPEARE Cakes and Ale è sia un romanzo satirico e malvagio sui poser letterari contemporanei, sia uno studio sapientemente elaborato sulla libertà. Mentre ripercorre le fortune di Edward Driffield e della sua straordinaria moglie Rosie, una delle eroine più deliziose della letteratura del ventesimo secolo, l'arguzia sarcastica e il calore lirico di Maugham si combinano sapientemente in questo romanzo compiuto e indimenticabile.

Informazioni sull?autore
William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writer's Notebook. In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965
Dalla quarta di copertina
Cakes and Ale is both a wickedly satirical novel about contemporary literary poseurs and a skilfully crafted study of freedom. As he traces the fortunes of Edward Driffield and his extraordinary wife Rosie, one of the most delightful heroines of twentieth-century literature, Maugham's sardonic wit and lyrical warmth expertly combine in this accomplished and unforgettable novel.
