The Moon and the Sixpence [Full Audiobook] by W. Somerset Maugham

[@Michael-bp5im]

I have read the meeting between the the narrator and Strickland in the bar hundreds of times. It always makes me smile!!!

[@normadesmond6017]

as a teenager he made me fall in love with reading. The greatest gift of all.

[@Michael-bp5im]

Me too as a redneck boy from a 5 stoplight town in east Georgia Maugham opened up the world for me

I love SM’s stories so much, he was a wonderful Writer; the Critics in his day were fools!😉😄 Thank-You for uploading this one!!

[@cacambo589]

Stunning book, WS Maugham's most enigmatic I think. Very good reader. Thank you very much.

[@DanSynek]

Perfect reader for this book!

[@lesgoodjobeasyfixkellem7818]

A great book, and a wonderful reader. Time well spent.

[@vin.handle]

An excellent narration. Possibly, the best I've ever heard. I intend to search for other audio books by the same narrator.

[@TimGreigPhotography]

Fantastic. Great reading. Couldn't wait to "turn the page"

[@CharlanePorter]

Thoroughly enjoyable novel. Reader is excellent!

[@andrewcowboy]

One of my favorite all time authors and my favorite book

[@pamtownshend5870]

Lovely to hear such a pleasant voice - also a good reader!

[@jandersson2053]

A beautiful book, a lovely voice. Just right.

[@shyamsreelahiri394]

Thank you. You are an engaging reader.

[@Socratez7]

Maugham leaves you blessed to be a reader and wretched that you are not a writer.

[@stephenmurrell4374]

It is realy good reading I hope I can find other readings by this reader

[@phildiamond3627]

A great book brilliantly read.

[@granthurlburt4062]

Thanks very much. This appears to be a LibraVox recording by a real human reader, who is very good, and not AI. The image also appears to not be AI, which is a nice change. Very well read,!

So amusing that WSM gets the Van Gogh character quite wrong. At the time of writing the Paul Gauguin character was perceived to be more important because the critics at the time were French. To now own one of those bad paintings by Van Gogh. The story is wonderful.

[@francescaemc2]

Thank you!!!! A real person

[@RaynoldsRecord]

Thank you!

This description of Strickland leads to the question. Can one produce profound art if one is not in the least capable of profound thought or ideas?

[@cacambo589]

Since "profound art" is a matter of taste or opinion, the answer must be yes.

[@granthurlburt4062]

If he produces profound paintings, he has profound ideas. He doenst express them in words, that's all. And I imagine there are great writers who arent good conversationists too.

[@Tracks777]

Great video! Keep it up

[@dumcasta9327]

i would enjoy it more if you didn't start every chapter with your public domain announcement - just once would do

[@rp6582]

Small price to pay for listening to an audiobook for free, don't you think?

[@granthurlburt4062]

iT's fine with me. It is a small "price" to pay for a free and excellent reading.

[@pamtownshend5870]

I found the narrator! Termin Dayan.

[@jennyhirschowitz1999]

Thank you. Presently I’m re-reading my battered old much-loved copy, and Termin Dayan’s voice, after savouring this poignant narration enriches every nuance that Maugham conveyed. Miss Jenny

Agree with Dum Cast a.It remains a pain in the domain

Anyone know the name of the painting?

[@pamtownshend5870]

I can't quite hear or understand the name of the narrator - Termin? I feel that I have heard his voice before.

I don’t think Strickland’s life was worth this much narrative. Not Maugham’s best tale. 😢

[@granthurlburt4062]

It is for millions, including me, among his best. You do know this is an adaptation of the life of Paul Gaugain., Also an excellent rendition of the life of someone who breaks from convention to follow his star, and at a time when it was much rarer more risky. No welfare or unemployment insurance then! He provides accurate portraits of the people around him and their mistaken assumptions about why Strickland left his middle-class life. He didnt care that his fellow students thought little of his work. The bold mind of an original artist who abandones a safe life to risk being a painter.

Anyone know who the reader is? The voice is somewhat familiar.

[@maggiekits1234]
