About This Novel
"Theatrical Style" is a particularly beloved work that Maugham claimed to have written in a very happy mood, using material from his life that he had been involved in the theater industry for many years - don't forget that he was once one of the most successful playwrights in British history. Julia Lambert is a famous actress on the British stage. She is a born actor. She is dazzling on the stage and confuses all living beings. However, off the stage, she falls into a dangerous passion with a young admirer. After being tortured and humiliated by lust, what saves her is still her infatuation with stage art. The painful life experience makes her control of characters more comfortable and her performance more proficient. She finally completes the redemption of lust in herself. Somerset Maugham used Julia's addiction and redemption to integrate life, humanity, lust, and art into one furnace, and performed it in a meticulous and penetrating way.
