具体描述

Book Description

It seems unthinkable that Charles Strickland, the dull, bourgeois city gent, would have the tortured soul of a genius. Yet Strickland is driven to abandon his home, wife, and children to devote himself slavishly to painting. In a tiny studio in Paris he fills canvas after canvas, refusing to sell or even exhibit his work. Beset by poverty, sickness, and his own intransigent nature, he drifts to Tahiti, where, even after being blinded by leprosy, he produces some of his most extraordinary works of art. First published in 1919 and inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is a study of a man possessed by the need to create - regardless of the cost to himself or others.

作者简介

威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆(William Somerset Maugham,1874 -1965),英国小说家,剧作家,被誉为“故事圣手”。

生于巴黎,十岁前父母双亡,由叔叔接回英国抚养,因身材矮小,说话结巴,总被同龄人欺凌,性格孤僻敏感。

18岁在伦敦学医,后弃医从文。23岁时发表首部小说《兰贝斯的丽莎》,从此走上文学创作的道路。人生经历奇特,他做过助产,做过间谍,做过演员,做过救护车司机;他做过丈夫,做过情人,拒绝过女人的求婚,他的求婚也被另一个女人拒绝;他自称“四分之三喜欢女人,只有四分之一喜欢男人”。

在文学界,毛姆是一个优雅、老到、冷漠的人性观察者,几乎每一个人都能在他的故事中看到自己,这也让毛姆成为二十世纪炙手可热的作家。

他的后半生住在一座仙境般的别墅里,晚年几乎获得了整个欧洲文学界的一切殊荣。91岁时,逝于法国。

经典代表作:《月亮与六便士》《人性的枷锁》。

——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...

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...

几个月前,我问一朋友生日时想收到什么礼物。他答曰:大美妞儿~我笑回:“书中自有千钟粟,书中自有黄金屋,书中自有颜如玉……”他不同意最后那句,旁征博引地回我:“……你说念个尼采念个权力意志……再整萨特啊……德里达啊……叔本华啊……洛克啊……祁克果……再鼓捣鼓捣...

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...

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...

It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. In my heart was a desire to live more dangerously. 请务必不要沉这入海中

He has genius...it’s a great burden to its possessors.

"Unconsciously, perhaps, we treasure the power we have over people by their regard for our opinion of them, and we hate those upon whom we have no such influence. I suppose it is the bitterest wound to human pride."

He was eternally a pilgrim, haunted by a divine nostalgia, and the demon within him was ruthless. There are men whose desire for beauty is so great that to attain it they will shatter the very foundation of their world.
