Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.
William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style.
His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in 'Of Human Bondage' , Maugham became a qualified physician. But writing was his true vocation. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays.
During World War I, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service . He travelled all over the world, and made many visits to America. After World War II, Maugham made his home in south of France and continued to move between England and Nice till his death in 1965.
献祭于理想【用Kindle Paperwhite看完的第一本书(* ̄︶ ̄)y
评分Dirk这人物典型到不行 把爱情浪漫化到这种境界与charles对爱情不屑一顾两个的对比太精彩了
评分Words find themselves too plain to describe the gasping bruteness. What is it to be an artist? Totally moved by the latter part of the novel where the artist was wrapped with devinity and obscenity to the fatal end.
评分毛姆笔下的Strickland,即便在绘画方面有天赋有才华、以及他看不到六便士只看到月亮的独特魅力,也cover不了因其丧失基本人性和其本质自私而让我对他产生的极度厌恶感。整本书都能感受到毛姆对女性深入骨髓的轻视。
评分自觉看美国人的当代小说基本没什么问题,到了英国人那膝盖就要跪碎了。我得找中文版看看…
毛姆是以高更的生活经历为参考,创造查尔斯·斯特里克兰德这个角色的,这点大家现在都很清楚了。原书成书于1919年,第一次世界大战刚刚结束,全欧洲迎来新秩序和希望的时代。当时的毛姆45岁,正值创作巅峰期,《月亮与六便士》是他在全盛期写下的杰作,亦是其作家生涯的最重要...
评分毛姆是个非常聪明的作家。非常,聪明。 写东西好的人其实不一定聪明。他是真聪明。 他是个非常认真的读者。比起其他毒舌,他读的书多到逆天。而且他还很八卦,看看他写的司汤达评传和福楼拜评传好了。他对作者心理的把握极高明。 也只有他敢说巴尔扎克、托尔斯泰、陀思妥耶夫...
评分读毛姆的《月亮和六便士》,我想没人不会被最后因麻风病失明的斯特里克兰德坐在壁画环绕的大溪地岛土屋的肃穆景象所深深震撼、感动。这是一个为了理想放弃全部道德、责任与世俗生活,四十岁上抛家弃子,为了追求美真正献祭出全部灵魂的人物。斯特里克兰德生前穷困潦倒,对除画...
评分有次跟邓正来吃饭,席间他批判现在人的“平庸”,我初以为这是精英对平民的歧视,他解释道:“我说的是平庸,平庸和平凡是两回事。平凡的人可以很伟大,而平庸的人即使成功也还是平庸。” 我看《月亮和六便士》的时候,就想起他这段话。 思特里克兰德,在四十多岁的时候,忽然...
评分每个人心中都住着一个孩子,他总在和现实中的你唱反调,你却一直不肯抛弃他,甚至你觉得他,才是真实的你,而那个大家眼中的你,根本不是你。 他常常被你忽略,就像你会因为工作的忙碌,而疏忽家人一样。你对他的爱,也像是对家人一样,不会因为时间和距离而消逝,而是越来越...
