  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!

  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.

  in recent months I rediscovered Somerset Maugham as a great short story writer . Yes, dozens of read Maugham stories convince me that he was indeed a literary genius and a gift to all humanity. What never gets dated is a good STORY . He always SEES people of all classes and ethnic groups. No false optimism about human beings , no false sentimentality , very real COMPASSION and TOLERANCE . A great writer's instinct for a STORY . One of my favorite novels is still Maugham's " Of Human Bondage " . I noticed the two volume set of his Collected Short Stories at the Cellar Stories used book store in downtown , Providence, Rhode Island. Better buy it soon before New Years Day.

  I´d like to thank you for documentary. I was in my late 20s when I accidently came across Somerset Maugham and immediately got addicted to his work. The undesirable side effect of this was, that after I read everything he wrotef I rom than on I found it hard to find any other contemporary author who could match him. Well to be fair: I enjoyed Graham Greene and Georges Simenon.
