Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths, Scenes Worthies of Somerset Somerset forms the eastern extremity of the Western Peninsula, and it is that position which made it again and again a rallying point against oppression. Kent was the point by which Romans, Saxons, and Normans alike entered our island home, while Somerset has the more glorious memory of serving as a refuge for the oppressed nationality, whence it Issued out again refreshed and invigorated to continue the struggle for independence. The Romans, having encountered the Belgae in Gaul, seem to have avoided for many years meeting them in Britain, and when they did at last subdue the West, Bath became a British Pompeii, and was as fashionable a resort in the days of Roman British luxury as in the eighteenth century. Mag nificent baths, Roman villas, and country seats have been laid bare during modern excavations. How far our first myth, the legend of Bath, points to a still earlier civiliza tion it is difficult to say.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of Human Bondage (1915) is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. Inspired by his experiences as an orphan and young student, Maugham composed his masterpiece. Adapted several times for film, Of Human Bondage is a story of tragedy, perseverance, and the eternal search for happiness which drives us as much as it haunts our every move. Orphaned as a boy, Philip Carey is raised in an affectionless household by his aunt and uncle. Although his Aunt Louisa tries to make him feel welcome, William proves an uncaring, vindictive man. Left to fend for himself most days, Philip finds solace in the family’s substantial collection of books, which serve as an escape for the imaginative boy. Sent to study at a prestigious boarding school, Philip struggles to fit in with his peers, who abuse him for his intelligence and club foot. Despite his struggles, he perseveres in his studies and chooses his own path in life, moving to Heidelberg, Germany and denying his uncle’s wish that he attend Oxford. As he struggles to become a professional artist, Philip learns that one’s dreams are often unsubstantiated in the world of the living. Of Human Bondage is a tale of desire, disappointment, and romance by a master stylist with a keen sense of the complications inherent to human nature. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of W. Somerset Maugham’s Of Human Bondage is a classic work of British literature reimagined for modern readers.

Download or read book Myths Scenes Worthies of Somerset written by Edmund Boger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 684 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Myths, Scenes Worthies of Somerset The author has somewhat departed from her original intention of making a collection of the myths and legends of Somerset. Unwittingly, fiction glided into fact, and the story developed into history, and it was found difficult, if not impossible, to define their respective limits. For instance, though Arthur is an impalpable and shadowy personage, while Alfred is a most real and substantial one, yet the mingling of truth and fable in the story of each - as connected with Somerset - is only one of degree; and even in later times, myth is so entertwined with the lives of St. Dunstan, of Sir John de Courcy, of Roger Bacon, &c., that, if one tries rudely to tear away the accretions of myth and fable, a maimed and distorted picture is all that is left. Among the legends of Saints are some of rare beauty, full of earnest thought and quaint suggestiveness. It has been endeavoured to show that, instead of being - as they are generally and conveniently classed, with a charming simplicity as - the "lying inventions of the monks," they are in most cases but the loving exaggerations of a simple age, to which every unexplained wonder was a miracle.
