The Trembling of a Leaf (Little Stories of the South Sea Islands) pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2025
In 1916, William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) travelled to the Pacific to research his novel "The Moon and Sixpence," based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which were to establish Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output.---Maugham reused elements of his Pacific diaries in "The Trembling of a Leaf" (1921), which contains one of his most recognized stories, "Rain," adapted to the stage by John Colton and Clemence Randolph in 1922.

在看了毛姆很多的长篇:《面纱》《月亮与六便士》《刀锋》《人生的枷锁》以及散文《阅读是一座随身携带的避难所》之后,第一次看他的短篇,并没有区分这些著作的先后顺序,所以有时候觉得他的观点是在著作中重复出现的,比如爱德华·巴纳德的堕落和刀锋,看了译后记才知道这是一...
评分吸纳旅途带来的收益,毛姆发挥到极致了,他不仅在周游中收获感官上的享受,而且融入各部落民俗生活和思想中,并且转化为文字力量,传承给后人以启迪。 这部短篇小说集书名《一片树叶的颤动》取自圣伯夫那句“极度的幸福与极端的绝望之间只隔着一片震颤之叶”,我对于这番言论不...
评分 评分 评分第一篇《麦金托什》。人常常只看到别人的不好,并将厌恶和仇恨在心中深埋,形成恶性循环自我催眠,身中其中时他们不知道自己做了什么。 第二篇《爱德华•巴纳德的堕落》完。这篇以前在毛姆短篇小说集时看过,所以比较快。“但愿等我成了个老头子,在回顾往昔时发觉自己的一生...
