Hello, dear readers! In this post, I'll review The Painted Veil , a novel by British writer William Somerset Maugham. Published in 1925, this novel was initially considered controversial because of its frank portrayal of martial infidelity. However, I think the implication of diplomatic corruption and the critique of British class system had something to do with it as well. Perhaps it hit a bit too close too home for the 1920th society, and for some especially so. The author faced a lawsuit and had to change the surnames of its protagonist, something that he talks about in the Preface . Moreover, Maugham had to replace Hong Kong with an imaginary name Tching-Yen, thought, this imaginary name was not used in later editions. We don't know whether Maugham was inspired by any particular couple when writing this story, but we do know that he draw from his work experience as a doctor and his dabbling in science.

Very cute. Where did you get your inspirations from?
ReplyDeletefor the first dress I had a very precise idea of a dress with colourful feathers that I wish I could make:) the other two are just items of clothing and accessories I really like like midi skirts and berets. I guess I get inspired everywhere and I always have a lot of ideas of what could look well together.
DeletePretty and bright illustrations, I always have a really good, positive feeling after scrolling down your artworks, because they are so original and spontaneous.
ReplyDeletethank you Alexandra:)
