This man was so brilliant! And to think something like 100 years later his study of people is still priceless!

I read all Somerset Maugham when I was 15-16 years old. I read them many times. This was in 1970s in communist Romania. My mother and I were in love with all his books. I listen now with nostalgic pleasure and I'm happy there are still people enjoying his writings! ❤

This was wonderful and I listened to it and I forgot all about 2024. ❤ It was as though I was on that boat myself.

amazing to me that SM isn’t more famous, as talented and prolific a writer as he was

I have just discovered him..His stories are of the level of a Chekhov or even a Bunin. Exquisite and deep.
