Of Human Bondage

Of Human Bondage pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025

William Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) studied medicine, but the quick success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), started him on his lifelong literary career, during which he would become one of the most popular English authors since Dickens. His own life, however, was more tragic, shocking, and fascinating than any novel. After his adored parents died, he grew up in a miserable vicarage and suffered from a physical handicap of which he was ashamed. During his lifetime, Maugham would marry and divorce, be sent to Russia as a spy, and entertain such celebrities as Jean Cocteau, Winston Churchill, Noël Coward, the Aga Khan, and Ian Fleming at his Riviera mansion. Among his masterpieces are Of Human Bondage, The Painted Veil, The Razor’s Edge, and The Moon and Sixpence. In addition, such works as “The Letter” and “Rain” established Maugham as a gifted short story writer.

Benjamin DeMott (1924–2005) was professor of English and the Mellon professor of humanities at Amherst College. The author of two novels, he was best known for his cultural criticism in leading periodicals and in such books as The Imperial Middle: Why Americans Can’t Think Straight About Class and The Trouble with Friendship: Why Americans Can’t Think Straight About Race.

Maeve Binchy (1940–2012) was the New York Times bestselling author of Quentins, Scarlet Feather, Tara Road (an Oprah’s Book Club Selection), Circle of Friends, Light a Penny Candle, and many other novels.

读后感

评分

今天凌晨翻完这本书,长长叹一口气,心里有一种类似放松、欣喜的情绪在慢慢酝酿,因为菲利普的选择,因为他和萨莉之间的纽带终于形成,也因为,这样的结局多少给了我一些安慰,让我知道其实看似最平凡的路,决定走上去,也要花很大的勇气,也需要牺牲,需要妥协。 ...

没想到菲利普终于过上了幸福生活,起码到作者停笔那会是。这些天断断续续旁观这个人的故事,差不多以为他要孤苦终老。结尾让人意外,肥皂剧的味道多少有点突兀。 每逢遇到“半自传体”,想象力都会掺水,因为作者自己也没法不把读者引入他的经历。菲利普和毛姆的轨迹如出一辙...

凭借着一点点可怜的英文知识,来感受毛姆作品“通俗”的魅力。令人奇异的是,或许因为读的慢,反而记得清楚。。读的时候,我不停回想起小学之前读《齐天大圣》那种感受‘哦,我认识这个词的,我知道这句话是什么意思’t t????

三年后重新读英文。

cried over the ending。。。 据说有这么三本关于成长的书必读:毛姆的《人生的枷锁》、罗曼·罗兰《约翰·克里斯朵夫》和黑塞的《玻璃球游戏》。第一本真是名不虚传啊我去!后面两本先省着,过几年再看吧。
