- "Lord Mountdrago" by W. Somerset Maugham tells the story of a powerful and arrogant politician, Lord Mountdrago, who is troubled by disturbing dreams. These dreams feature humiliating scenarios involving a common Welsh Member of Parliament, Owen Griffiths. Seeking help, Mountdrago consults Dr. Audlin, a skeptical but gifted psychoanalyst, to rid himself of these troubling visions. The sessions reveal Mountdrago's inner fears and insecurities, ultimately leading to a shocking realization about the connection between his dreams and reality....

Maugham at his brilliant best and perfectly read. Much more than entertainment but truly great literature. Thank you so very much for bringing it to me
Thank you for introducing me to S. Maugham. I am now reading the Razor's Edge. His gift and craft are amazing.
I have become a recluse. Todays society has driven me to disdain humanity. I'm so 😢 sad most of the time. Your stories have given me a joyfull reprieve from reality. ❤
I feel the same.
...and so we meet, one faceless other to another, in the neural networks fused and diffused - at times hilariously confused - by an algorithm sensing our congeniality through words written a century and more ago.
I’m completely hooked on these stories!
I’ve become a recluse myself, I’m not liking society so much right now
Do things that please you and forget the world ❤
You are not alone.
@arabelle.....we know how you feel ...stay up kid 😊
Somerset Maugham is such a talented writer, my God.
Yes. Unfortunately he's almost forgotten today or dismissed as
a some kind of old fogey from
the 1930s. ! Especially by those who HAVEN'T read him...!!
Maugham showing us in his inimitable way that humility & kindness are essential for good mental health and / or the soul. ❤️
Marvellous Story...beautifully written, rich vocabulary, intricate. Loved it❤
Amazing story! Maugham was such a perceptive man in his observation of the shadow side in us all 🙏
I believe this story was the basis for the third part of a movie called "Three Cases of Murder" starring Orson Welles as the arrogant Parliament member.
Great performance. Thanks for sharing.
Superb reading of an excellent story. Thank you
I hadn't expected it but I laughed out loud listening to this story. Thank you for posting!
I fail to find anything funny to laugh about in this tale!
@@mattneillninasmom You didn't think his dreams were funny?
The best yet! Enjoying these stories like none other of his works I’ve read years ago,
Fascinating
I heard this story on the radio as a little girl many many years ago. I had no idea that it was Somerset Maugham. This man was fantastic. One of the very best.
Thank you 😊
Absolutely captiviating. SM at his best❤
Brilliant story!
Thank you so much for sharing💙💙💙

My second pass through this Story...and it's even more brilliant than the first. Thanks for posting. ❤
Wonderful! ❤
Excellent!!
These great stories make me feel all the great stories have been written.....😢
Thanks!
Just as I'd resigned myself to nightengales bedtime song🌱🌌🌠🙂
One of the best. Much listen to
I love the stories, all of them, but just once I wish the picture would jive with the verbal description of the people..
Stunning ❤
Maugham is brilliant in reading the human mind and at telling it greatly
Love the stories. Have been noticing audio glitches and digital artifacts. What’s up?
AI narration . ! It's not the worst but it's not Laurence Olivier.....
it's an automated reading, sometimes you hear a word pronounced in different ways in different parts of the stories.
May we have the name of the narrator please? He is so good. Thank you.
🙏🙏🙏👏👏💕
Shivers....
Strange sad little tale.

Hi, is there possibly a chance of a part 2? This one is too good and too many loose ends for my mind to tie together on its own. *I mean there could be plenty of different outcomes of this fantastic story, and I most definitely would love if the story goes back in time to hear the perspectives of the other man, I don’t think this man would have sought after the same doctors help, but more reasonable would be if he had spoke with his family who came to see his triumph that awful afternoon, so it’s plausible that he might had consoled himself with his own family after that detrimental day in parliament?*
But/And *imagine if it’s the physician who is dreaming and is responsible for everything?*
As you notice I have no Idea whether or not there is more to this story but I certainly wish there is.

(English isn’t my first language and I apologize in advance for misspellings, use of words in a wrong way, and grammatical mistakes.)
It might interest you grace, that is if you like old-fashioned movies ?, " to look up a movie from 1955 called " three cases of murder" the last of the three Storys is an adaptation of Maugham," Lord Mountdrago"
Hope you enjoy !
(PS) Your grammar is exquisite.
