The Moon and Sixpence pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
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.

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.

读后感
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——毛姆论伟大 “我所谓的伟大不是走红运的政治家或是立战功的军人的伟大；这种人显赫一时，与其说是他们本身的特质倒不如说沾了他们地位的光，一旦事过境迁，他们的伟大也就黯然失色了。人们常常发现一位离了职的首相当年只不过是个大言不惭的演说家；一个解甲归田的将军无...
评分前段时间看过一个朋友写的有关毛姆和黑塞之间的比较，从风格到技巧上都做了分析。事实上，两个人最大的不同，其实在于身份。黑塞骨子里是哲学家，尽管披着作家的外衣，但他的作品是深入而专注于“人类精神状况的出路”。而毛姆则是一个典型的作家，他只讲故事。 “作家更想去...
评分你肯定有这样一个朋友吧：在银行工作，长得一般，业务凑合，有老婆孩子，勤勤恳恳养家糊口，不爱说话，但如果开口说话，说的话也多半无趣无味——总之形象非常白开水，在任何一个社交场合都是角落里不大起眼的人。事实上你肯定有不止一个这样的朋友，事实上你自己没准就是这样...
评分对我来说，世界上最难的事情是什么？不，不是穿了新衣服吹了新发型不去照镜子……当然这个也挺难的，我基本做不到。但严肃地说，更难的事情是，怎么才能，知道自己应该如何生活。 小时候我的生活规则很简单，大人说不能和坏孩子交朋友我就抗拒了那么一下下。那时候天蓝风轻，...

Maugham is really one of my favourite. He writes stories briefly. Dialogue, the relationships between people, the beginning, process and ending can be seen clearly. And I really love his tone. There is always an "I" in his novel, which makes me moving. However, this time i found something i did not notice before. From Moon to the Razor's edge, he found his way just like Strickland found his way to express through painting. Maugham is not able to describe the so-called power and home in this book, but he suceeded in the Razor's Edge. However, i still love the Moon and Sixpence the best. it's amazing to see the combination of these simple and shadow words brings such great influence everytime he described the paintings. it also shocks me again when i read chapter 50. Abraham, the name of faith. i still cling to the hope of one day i meet my own permanent Alexandria. To leave or to stay is of no importance. Just to meet it is enough for my forever nostalgia.
评分What a novel! 太棒了！
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.
