W. Somerset Maugham - 100 years of Of Human Bondage
Переглядів 4,4 тис.9 років тому
This is a video created for the occasion of the 100th anniversary of W. Somerset Maugham’s most well-known book, Of Human Bondage. It was first published on 12 August 1915 by Heinemann, in the midst of WWI. The reason why I release the video early instead of spending a few more months to collate information (this is the type of project that never ends) is because I cherish the hope that Google ...
W Somerset Maugham's 140th Birthday
Переглядів 37 тис.10 років тому
This video is to celebrate the 140th anniversary of W. Somerset Maugham's birthday. Regretfully, he is not here with us. As a quote from Musset's Rolla that Maugham appeared to love says: "Je suis venu trop tard dans un monde trop vieux." This video is especially prepared for this occasion (we humans have a penchant for round numbers). I love birthdays, a rare personal event in this overpopulat...
Thank you so much for posting this! ❤
Brilliant writer.
An absolutely exquisite writer. One who, all these years later in 2023, remains very much alive through his works. As my reading of his magnum opus ‘Of human bondage’ just unequivocally proved! Rest in peace, maestro!
Too descriptive, the antithesis of Papa Hemingway, he yes, the greatest
This takes us back to a bygone age.
I've only read the Razors edge, but what a great book it is.
first pictures 😌

Are you alive
It would be apt if you could give exact details of the music, which is more than just background noise. I’d like to know exactly what are the pieces, the composer of each piece and the performer.
..... Many Thanks for the download; His views on so called 'Society' & It's reaction to each of us, is So True vvñhh - The Predatory nature of people is as Real now ..... as then!! - 1:50 +

My. dearest Mr.Maugham, it is now 2021 and I still hold you in my heart as the greatest author ever.. Thank you for helping me enjoy many hours of loneliness at times. Your books were so enthralling. I loved all that I read. If you can see this from a higher place I want you to know you will never be forgotten. ❤️🌈🥰
My most favourite writer (Noel Bastola from Nepal). I am glad to find your channel so interesting. Thank you so much
His insight into human nature has enriched my life
This guy deserves a doodle!
Hey, please get in touch on gauriravishankar6@gmail.com.
My father's favourite author.. and one of mine... he was a very complex man and his novels like the razor's edge and the human bondage stand the test of time..
I worked at villa Mauresque which is now owned by a Ukranian , all changed lots of tromp L oeil in the dining room stainless steel in the kitchen after the view of the swimming pool you see the open roof that is not covered by glass then you have a view of teh dining room the walls are painted in flowers of lavander
He is my favourite author. I very much enjoyed this! Thanks for the upload.
Hemingway could write this guy tells a story
Comme dans ces nouvelles pour dames, de Somerset Maugham...
So he would have been 140 years old had he lived?
Such a big garden but small heart! How could he keep those birds in such small Cage?!!
Nancy Mohass Maybe they got out to fly once in a while like lovebirds do?
Lovely video. Thank you.
Uno de mis escritores favoritos.Me encantan sus cuentos y narraciones cortas.Y la joya SERVIDUMBRE HUMANA.
Heavens to Murgatroid ! What wonderful footage of a truly gifted author ! Can't thank you enough for sharing with us ! He was incredibly intelligent, perceptive, articulate & charming ! CHEERS !! :-)
Like your storytelling, from my point of view, I am an visual artist, and fine art painter. Laurence.
A magnificent author and playwright .I have just finished reading Liza of Lambeth , for the third or fourth time and i am sure it gets better with each reading .
Liza Of Lambeth , first published in 1897 and here he is being interviewed on television , a truly great author.
Ivan Hart Was he ever on any talkshow?
thank you very much for posting this treasure !
HE WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN , HE WAS AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS ! HIS WORK IS A VAST COLLECTION OF MASTERPIECE AFTER MASTERPIECE ! FINDING HIM IS LIKE ENTERING THE CAVE OF THE LAMP IN THE STORY OF ALADDIN ! HE'S BRILLIANT , HIS WORK BEAUTIFUL AND SO WELL CRAFTED ! HE IS A GIFT FROM GOD TO ALL OF HUMANITY !
Thank you very much...what a charming and eloquent man..I have always loved his short stories in particular...fortunately l am not the only one...there are a few very good films of them. Quartet and Trio come to mind..
Alfred Reithermann , The Razors Edge , The Moon and Sixpence , Of Human Bondage and Mrs Craddock are some of my favorite novels and of course Rain - ' Miss Thompson ' and ' The Letter ' , everything so well thought out and so kind !
Those poor wild birds in tiny cages....awful
My all time favorite author.
3:12 "Fact and fiction is so intermingled in my work that, now, looking back I can hardly distinguish one from the other..."
If you like this video, you may like to listen to Maugham himself reading his own work: ua-cam.com/video/6YWS7PrKeQY/v-deo.html
Wise words. Jolly good show.
+Carlos Pagi Thanks Carlos! Perhaps you may be interested in listening to Maugham reading his own work: ua-cam.com/video/6YWS7PrKeQY/v-deo.html
Really moving novel. Complex. I have the 1991 Signet version (13:11).
+Vebinz Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! Your copy has one of the nice covers!
Great! He is one of my favorites!
+Glenn Martin Thanks for leaving a comment! I have prepared another video for Maugham's birthday this year. Will be up on 25th.
Great. Will be looking forward to it.
Of Human Bondage, the razors edge liza of lambeth, the moon and six pence these are some awesome novels and my fav..all of his novels are very intriguing but these novel taught me soo much...Hats off to Maugham.
+Adam Sam Thanks for watching the video and leaving a comment, Adam!
Thank you very much for sharing these footages of The Divine Maugham. I can't understand why hasn't been produced at least one good documentary about Him. Anyway, as I see, there is still people with intelligence, sensitivity and taste... honoring Willie!
+Marquis Morillot Thanks for the comment. Yes, that's really a pity. I'm glad that you like the video; it's such an enjoyment to make it. The British Library is going on with its project to give open access to its sound files, I hope we'll have more to see/listen soon.
