In 1938 Maugham wrote, "Fact and fiction are so intermingled in my work that now, looking back on it, I can hardly distinguish one from the other." Maugham also wrote that most of his short stories were inspired by accounts he heard firsthand during his travels to the lonely outposts of the British Empire. In volume three of this series, we present all of the remaining short stories which Maugham published after World War I and which he subsequently caused to be republished in various collections.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 66
In June 1917, W. S. Maugham was asked by the British Secret Intelligence Service, to undertake a special mission in Russia to support Kerensky's government. The mission failed, and two and a half months later, the Bolsheviks took control. Maugham subsequently said that if he had been able to get there six months earlier, he might have succeeded. Quiet and observant, Maugham had a good temperament for intelligence work. The writer used his spying experiences as the basis for his collection of short stories called Ashenden: Or the British Agent. They became the prototype for the modern espionage novel.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 245
The Great War changed everything and everyone, and Larry Darrell is no exception. Though his physical wounds from the war heal, his spirit is changed almost beyond recognition. He leaves his betrothed, the beautiful and devoted Isabel; studies philosophy and religion in Paris; lives as a monk, and witnesses the exotic hardships of Spanish life. All of life that he can find - from an Indian Ashrama to labor in a coal mine - becomes Larry's spiritual experiment as he spurns the comfort and privilege of the Roaring 20s.

For a long time, I found myself possessing the majority of those traits. I thought, "This is just who I am. I can't change that." Wrong. So Wrong. Most of these traits were handed to me, and probably you too, without request. With the way our society is organized (media, school, parents, etc.), these character traits proliferate. However, it wasn't until I started Un-Learning, that I truly became the well-rounded confident man I am today. Free and fulfilled in ways you can't currently imagine.

Some guys have it but only in certain environments (i.e., the club, the gym, the office, etc.). But almost no one has the core confidence that you can carry into ANY environment, no matter how foreign it is to you.

"Oscar Wilde's Fairy Tales continue to exert the same pull over the imagination and emotions as they did when he first read them to his children in the 1880s. Written with inspired poetic intensity and sudden flowerings of the matchless wit for which he is so well remembered, the stories combine the wisdom of parables with the impact of drama."

First published in 1979, The White Album records indelibly the upheavals and aftermaths of the 1960s. Examining key events, figures, and trends of the era - including Charles Manson, the Black Panthers, and the shopping mall - through the lens of her own spiritual confusion, Joan Didion helped to define mass culture as we now understand it. Written with a commanding sureness of tone and linguistic precision, The White Album is a central example of American reportage and a classic of American autobiography.

This is not the voice of an Alpha Male
What disappointed you about The Alpha Male Guide?
I
What didn’t you like about Alec Sand’s performance?
The voice of the narrator was so bothering. It was like a rollercoaster. At the beginning of a sentence you barely hear anything and at the end the voice almost destroys your ear-drum. Was he trying to emulate the voice of an alpha male? If so, it is a big fail! This is not the voice of an alpha male but of a bully. James Bond has the voice of an alpha male: clear, calm and confident voice.
Any additional comments?
If the contents would have been great, I could forgive the voice, but it was not. Most of the advices in this book are very superficial and will not lead you to a better life

Not What I was Expecting, but Entertaining
I love the narrator, I thought he was witty and funny in his performance.
The advice was nothing new; I was expecting some old timey wisdom from the age of those philosophers, which is probably what it was, but I was expecting it to be more aged, I guess.
Performance was great.

THIS SOUNDS LIKE A COMEDY BUT IT IS NOT.
I bought this book after listening to the sample thinking it was a parody of the pick up artists mentality but it is not. It takes itself very seriously.
A philosophy book that starts off with the notion that we are alive to feel pleasure shows you just how misguided this philosophy is.
Good narration though.

Excellent! But suddenly short!
What did you like most about The Alpha Male Guide?
Alec Sands reading and tone of voice is so fresh! Many audiobooks are read in the same boring tone of voice, but "The Alpha Male Guide" will really strike a chord with you! Paul Beck does not beat around the bush - He is clear, direct, and blunt (which makes the read both funny and bold!)
My only complaint is that it seems to be a little cut short. Don't get me wrong, it's a good few hours, but there is not closure or ending to it, as if it continues in another part? Odd, but forgivable.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the pacing of the book. He covers lots of topics, and knows just the right time to change topics without it getting boring or predictable, thus keeping the grand quality intact. Fast paced for easy reading.
