Maugham S. - First Person Singular Unabridged AudioBook | 2013 | Genre: General Fiction | English | ISBN-13: 978-0405078545 | MP3 96Kb | Length: 8 hrs and 12 mins | 354.01 MB "Life is really very fantastic, and one has to have a peculiar sense of humour to see the fun of it." This very short quote from the not so short story Virtue is simply the best way to start my little essay on "Six Stories Written in the First Person Singular", Somerset Maugham's fourth mature collection of short stories and the second - after the previous one, "Ashenden" (1928) - which is not concerned with tropical locales and the fates of British Empire builders. But the main theme is the same as in all other of Maugham's short stories, as in his whole oeuvre indeed - the human nature pure and simple (although it is neither actually). I remember quite well the first time I read something by Somerset Maugham. It was the short story "Virtue". Don't ask me when this happened, it was many years ago. I was having my lunch in a little club near the Faculty where I had the pleasure to study just then. While eating the relatively tasteless Schnitzel (and the utterly tasteless mashed potatoes) I went through the table of contents of the Maugham's volume I had just bought and having liked the title of "Virtue", I read it chewing thoughtfully.
