Souvenir typescript, one page, 8.5 x 11, signed at the bottom in fountain pen, "W. Somerset Maugham." An excerpt from A Writer's Notebook, in part: "But why should man be humble when he comes face to face with God? Because God is better and wiser and more powerful than man? A poor reason. No better than that my maid should humble herself before me because I'm white, have more money and am better educated than she is. I should have thought it was God who would have cause to be humble when he reflects upon what an indifferent job he has made in the creation of a human being." In fine condition, with light creasing.Format: Souvenir Typescript
