William Somerset Maugham (pronounced \'mawm\'), CH (25 January 1874 - 16 December 1965) was an English playwright, novelist and short story writer . He was one of the most popular authors of his era, and reputedly the highest paid of his profession during the 1930s.

Joseph Conrad (December 3, 1857 - August 3, 1924) was a Polish -born British novelist, one of the most important and respected writers of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth centuries. Conrad\'s works emerge out of the confluence of three literary currents prominent in the Europe of Conrad\'s time: Romanticism, particularly in the works of Polish novelist Henryk Sienkiewicz ; realism, which flowered in Russia in the works of Leo Tolstoy and Fyodor Dostoevsky ; and modernism, which emerged as the dominant literary aesthetic of the twentieth century.

Conrad\'s works draw on the symbolism of the Romantics and the psychological acuity of the realist and modernist schools.
