About this listen

Maugham found a parallel to the turmoil of our own times in the duplicity, intrigue, and sensuality of the Italian Renaissance. Then and Now enters the world of Machiavelli, and covers three important months in the career of that crafty politician, worldly seducer, and high priest of schemers.

Great story and masterly narrated. Andrew Wincott brings listener to the atmosphere of Caesar Borgia's time. The story that can listen not only one time. Thanks for your job!

One more a great W.S. Maugham's novel
