Of Human Bondage by W. Somerset MAUGHAM (1874 - 1965) Genre(s): General Fiction Read by: Tom Weiss in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 01 - Chapters 1 through 6 00:48:02 - 02 - Chapters 7 through 12 01:41:47 - 03 - Chapters 13 through 16 02:29:27 - 04 - Chapters 17 through 20 03:10:55 - 05 - Chapters 21 through 23 03:53:00 - 06 - Chapters 24 through 28 04:43:55 - 07 - Chapters 29 through 32 05:28:03 - 08 - Chapters 33 through 35 06:18:41 - 09 - Chapters 36 through 39 Of Human Bondage, published in 1915, is considered to be W. Somerset Maugham's best work. Many believe the novel to be one of the world's literary masterpieces. The story follows Phillip Carey from early childhood through his 30's. Orphaned at 9, Phillip spends his early years raised by his childless aunt and uncle. His aunt tries to be a mother to Philip, but she is unsure how to behave whereas his uncle, a vicar, takes a cold disposition towards him. Philip is sent to a boarding school but his shyness and his club foot make it difficult for him to fit in. The novel follows this theme throughout as Phillip travels to Germany, France, and England, makes new acquaintances, searches for his life's calling, and experiences romantic episodes. Mildred in particular, will leave you wondering about Phillip's obsession and passion for such a woman. More than a few of us have had 'our Mildred'. The characters in Of Human Bondage are real-life with faults, qualities, and feelings that Maugham describes so vividly. It would not be unusual that we have encountered individuals with traits similar to the characters in this book. At times the emotions in this novel, so simply but purely written, will leave you either sad or happy and even perhaps, teary-eyed as the enthusiasm of youth is met with reality as Phillip tries to discover the meaning of HIS life through the dreams of others.

This time the author procured one of the smallest and most comfortable of boats... the BARNEGAT SNEAK-BOX. This curious and stanch little craft, though only twelve feet in length, proved a most comfortable and serviceable home while the author rowed in it more than 2600 miles down the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico, until he reached the goal of his voyage — the mouth of the wild Suwanee River — which was the terminus of his 'VOYAGE OF THE PAPER CANOE.' - Summary by Nathaniel H. Bishop NOTE: There are issues of race in the telling of 'Four Months in a Sneak-box', particularly anti-Black stereotypes and derogatory terms. It is LibriVox's policy to record texts as written.

COOPER (1868 - 1939) Genre(s): Published 1800 -1900 Read by: Margaret Espaillat in English Chapters: 00:00:00 - 20 - Chapter 32 00:31:04 - 21 - Chapters 33 and 34 00:55:06 - 22 - Chapter 35 01:14:12 - 23 - Chapter 36 Effi Briest is a classic of Prussian Realism, relatively unknown in the English speaking world, but widely taught in German schools. This tragic tale tells the story of Effi, a young woman from an old and respectable family who, due to a sense of duty, marries Geert von Instetten, a much older Prussian official. The tragedy unfolds as a consequence of Instetten's strict following of his duties in society in response to his wife's indiscretions.Thomas Mann once wrote that if one's library had to be reduced to six books, Effi Briest should be one of them.

He is also known as the father of Modern Skepticism. His pieces became famous for his apparent effortless ability to merge serious intellectual speculation with casual anecdotes and autobiography.

This is the third volume of that important work.
