The Moon and Sixpence pdf epub mobi txt 電子書 下載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.

讀後感
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，...
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 評分查尔斯·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...
用戶評價
反復讀多少遍都不為過~~
评分Dirk這人物典型到不行 把愛情浪漫化到這種境界與charles對愛情不屑一顧兩個的對比太精彩瞭
评分毛姆筆下的Strickland，即便在繪畫方麵有天賦有纔華、以及他看不到六便士隻看到月亮的獨特魅力，也cover不瞭因其喪失基本人性和其本質自私而讓我對他産生的極度厭惡感。整本書都能感受到毛姆對女性深入骨髓的輕視。
评分Gauguin
评分on kindle. 地鐵讀物。好多似曾相識的東西。在10號綫上讀完瞭，雖然從小就聽說過，但發現竟然和模糊的想像完全不同。
