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.
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.
評分反復讀多少遍都不為過~~
評分Strickland 為什麼喜歡 Bruegel 呢?
評分扇貝第六本
評分吐血,這一個個人物都是極品啊!Stroeve已經為Beauty & Genius卑微屈膝到不是人瞭,Strickland爲瞭passion for creating beauty可以拋棄人間萬事到這種地步,這真是終極裝逼,內心強大到這個地步還能稱人麽?!不否認沒有人性光輝的作品可以有其脫離人世的美,可怎麽又會成爲世人口中的“天纔美”?可見後人都是裝逼。毛姆叔叔真心太厲害,言辭幽默用絕瞭!
查尔斯·思特里克兰德的人生大致分三段:在伦敦、在巴黎(马赛)和在塔希提。毛姆花了最多的篇幅描述他在巴黎的一场大病和一次艳遇,而他在这一场遭遇里几乎扮演了一个完全的反面角色,他忘恩负义、毫无同情心和基本的礼貌教养,相对的,除了施特略夫的只言片语,作者对他的绘...
評分初次知道这本书,是在读刘瑜的《送你一颗子弹》随笔中提到的。他讲述了一个极致普通的银行职员突然在某一天抛下自己一切身份与牵挂,甩手追求个人理想与宿命—绘画,并最终将自己的作品付诸一炬的故事。当然用这一长句没心没肺的话来概括毛姆这部情节丰富,个人命运跌宕的小说...

評分——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...
評分书在开头就设下了一个巨大的谜团。一位在银行工作,有体面收入,家庭生活和睦的先生,一声不响地跑去了一个大城市,只给妻子儿女留下来一张“晚饭做好了”的字条。所有人都认为他跟一位女人私奔了。“我”受他的妻子委托,前往巴黎寻找他并求他回家,却得到了他要在那里画画的...
