Author: W. Somerset Maugham; Publisher: Brilliance Audio

The Moon and Sixpence, one of Maugham's best-known and loved novels, is a fictionalized biography of the artist Paul Gauguin. The stand-in character for Gauguin is Charles Strickland who deserts his wife and children to become a painter. In Paris, he is indifferent to the friendship offered by a fellow artist, Dirk Stroeve; but it is Stroeve and his wife Blanche who take Strickland in when he falls ill. Strickland again devastates those around him by running away with Blanche, who has fallen in love with him. In reality, he has no use for Blanche except as the model for a painting and upon the painting's completion, abandons her as well. The Moon and Sixpence is one of Maugham's most enduring character studies, it has been read and enjoyed for generations.

But it was not so.--There was one heart that melted with sympathy, and one eye that shed a solitary tear, to see so interesting a youth thus, as it were, about to be buried alive, upon so vague and slight a suspicion. That heart, and that eye, beat in the bosom, and sparkled in the brow of as fair a maid as ever the sun shone upon in this new world, whose sprightly daughters are acknowledged on all hands to excel in beauty, grace, and virtue, all the rest of the universe.

Author: Ralph Waldo Emerson; Publisher: Kessinger Publishing

The richness of the unprinted material in Emerson's diaries has been known to the reading public ever since Elliot Cabot drew upon it for his Memoir of Emerson. It is not known when Emerson first began to keep a journal, but there are fairly full records from 1820, when he was seventeen, to 1875, when he was seventy-two. The present editor, with the permission of Emerson's surviving children & with the cooperation of his publishers, has undertaken this work with the belief that a single volume of the Journals will be welcomed by the ever-widening circle of readers of our most distinguished American writer.
