Talk:After Many a Summer

Name of the book
Isn't the book's name after many a summer dies the swan ?--Mecanismo | Talk 22:54, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Upon further reaserch, acording to Nicholas Murray's recient biography p.325 I see that After many a summer's title was added too on later publications by american publishers. However my american published version says 1st edition 1939 and it is After many a summer dies the swan. I have put in a summary and the box above as much as I could.

I don't understand why this book is not listed under its correct name. Moncrief 04:06, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

It was first published in the UK with the original title, when published in the US it acquired the more recent title. Please note that something that claims to be First Edition often means in that country rather than a "true" First. :: Kevinalewis  :  (Talk Page) / (Desk)  08:58, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Huh?
"For, if individuality is not absolute, if personalities are illusory figments of a self-will disastrously blind to the reality of a more-than-personal consciousness" Is this a proper sentence? I read this as a "For" and two "if" clauses. No subject or verb. Typo? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Seanpatnaude (talk • contribs) 22:16, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Vocabulary
It should be mentioned that this book contains many words that are very obscure. I tried reading it in pre-internet days, and having a thick dictionary at my side was no help, as almost every page contained a word that wasn't even in the dictionary. I recall hearing that the book was sent to a Hollywood producer, who found it unreadable because of this. Another criticism is that Huxley does a lot of preaching through some of his characters. There should be a section on this book's reception. I generally like Huxley, but not this book. All of the characters are so contemptible that I didn't care enough about any of them to bother finishing the book.77Mike77 (talk) 14:16, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
