Theatre. Books in English for Reading

William Somerset Maugham is one of the outstanding English writers of the early 20th century, who gifted the world with numerous plays, essays, and novels. "The Theatre" is the life of an actress with her ups and downs, love intrigues,... and daily work. A sleek plot, clarity of phrases, simplicity and at the same time the beauty of the language - this is what distinguishes Maugham among many novelists of that time, and what makes the reader close the book only once - on the last page. The book is an unadapted text for reading. It is intended for students of high school language schools, universities, foreign language courses, and for independent reading. The texts are accompanied by comprehension tasks, notes, and a dictionary.
