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.

評分算不上书评,这本书的译者后记写得足够精彩,更何况每个人对于每个故事的理解一定也会不太一样。 读书的时候被一个很小的细节感动了。 那篇 [爱德华·巴纳德的堕落]里,爱德华和他的好朋友贝特曼都爱着女生伊莎贝尔。贝特曼一路退让自己的感情,甚至帮爱德华出谋划策,倾听他...
