William Somerset Maugham nWilliam Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874-16 December 1965) was a British playwright, novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. nAfter losing both his parents by the age of 10, Maugham was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. Not wanting to become a lawyer like other men in his family, Maugham eventually trained and qualified as a doctor. The first run of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. n During the First World War, he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps, before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service, for which he worked in Switzerland and Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. During and after the war, he traveled in India and Southeast Asia; all of these experiences were reflected in later short stories and novels.

評分读到故事的中期了, 天才对艺术的追求执着、真挚、忘我,就像个疯子。在平常人看来,天才与神经病其实只隔着一层纸。小说中的男主人公斯特里克兰就是这样的一个“不正常的人”。 其二,看毛姆的小说,也能窥见他的性格。斯特里克兰的冷漠,“我”的冷静,Dirk的重感情。还有对...

評分一直都聽說月亮與六便士,一直都沒看,然後看起來的時候有點欲罷不能,果然精彩。隻是,天纔之所以為天纔就是人人不可能都是瘋子瞭。
评分其實沒有get到這本書的點,估計我隻看懂瞭故事情節,但是還不足以體會到文法?
评分30年下來,發現自己最受不瞭的就是貧窮
评分when you hurt a man, hurt him bad. It gives you a bit of time to look about and think what you'll do next.
评分我是老瞭吧?Strickland的生活我想也不敢想→_→
