The Lotus EaterГод выпуска: 2006 Автор: William Somerset Maugham/Уильям Сомерсет Моэм Исполнитель: Elaine Margaret Thawley/Илэйн Солей Жанр: Drama Издательство: Ардис Серия/Цикл: CD1 Номер в серии/цикле: 1 Тип: аудиокнига Аудиокодек: MP3 Битрейт аудио: 192 kbps Продолжительность: 00:44:00 Описание: The story begins in 1913 with the narrator's visit to a friend on the Island of Capri in Italy. The friend introduces the narrator to Thomas Wilson, who had come to the island for a holiday sixteen years earlier. A year after that holiday, Wilson had given up his job in London as a bank manager to live a life of simplicity and enjoyment in a small cottage on Capri. Enchanted by the island during his visit, he had made the decision during the intervening year to forgo working another twelve or thirteen years for his pension and instead to take his accumulated savings and purchase at once an annuity that would allow him to live simply on Capri for twenty-five years. And what will happen at the end of that twenty-five years, fifteen of which have already passed, asks the narrator; many men die by sixty, but many do not. Wilson does not directly answer the question, but he implies that if nature does not carry him off by the age of sixty, he will be content to dispatch himself, having lived a life of his own choosing in the meantime. The narrator of the story is stunned by such a bold plan, all the more because Wilson has the appearance and manner of an unremarkable, ordinary man--very much that of the bank manager he once was. ( Original )
