Then And Now

Maugham found a parallel to the turmoil of our own times in the duplicity, intrigue and sensuality of the Italian Renaissance. Then and Now enters the world of Machiavelli, and covers three important months in the career of that crafty politician, worldly seducer and high priest of schemers.

Maugham a gasit o paralela cu tumultul vremurilor noastre in duplicitatea, intriga si senzualitatea Renasterii italiene. ,,Atunci si acum" intra in lumea lui Machiavelli si acopera trei luni importante din cariera acestui politician viclean, seducator lumesc si mare preot al intrigantilor.
