"The novel is generally agreed to be Maugham's masterpiece and to be strongly autobiographical in nature, although he stated, 'This is a novel, not an autobiography; though much in it is autobiographical, more is pure invention.' Maugham, who had originally planned to call his novel Beauty from Ashes, finally settled on a title taken from a section of Spinoza's Ethics." (Wikipedia). Toole Stott A21a. HBS 69145. $500.
