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》。
I confess that when first I made acquaintance with Charles Strickland I never for a moment discerned that there was in him anything out of the ordinary. Yet now few will be found to deny his greatness. I do not speak of that greatness which is achieved by the fortunate politician or the successful soldier; that is a quality which belongs to the place he occupies rather than to the man; and a change of circumstances reduces it to very discreet proportions. The Prime Minister out of office is seen, too often, to have been but a pompous rhetorician, and the General without an army is but the tame hero of a market town. The greatness of Charles Strickland was authentic. It may be that you do not like his art, but at all events you can hardly refuse it the tribute of your interest. He disturbs and arrests. The time has passed when he was an object of ridicule, and it is no longer a mark of eccentricity to defend or of perversity to extol him. His faults are accepted as the necessary complement to his merits. It is still possible to discuss his place in art, and the adulation of his admirers is perhaps no less capricious than the disparagement of his detractors; but one thing can never be doubtful, and that is that he had genius. . . .
公司的技术部门分了许多小组,我们小组就三个人。我右边的同事,一个月前,他跟朋友做的网站拿到投资,后来辞职走了,全职创业。 那时,我在朋友圈发状态跟大家讨论(2014年5月16日:http://www.douban.com/note/351525921/),你觉得你存够多少钱,或者说,存够几年的日常开...
评分去年,央视推出了名为《你幸福吗》的一系列采访,在路上随便逮个人就问“你幸福吗”。在我看来,这采访最大的问题不在于提问方式的突兀和问题的简单粗暴,而是它预先把“幸福”设定为一个值得追求与向往的目标,甚至是人生唯一目标。这就走向了堕落的反动派的阵营。 至于“幸...
评分对我来说,世界上最难的事情是什么?不,不是穿了新衣服吹了新发型不去照镜子……当然这个也挺难的,我基本做不到。但严肃地说,更难的事情是,怎么才能,知道自己应该如何生活。 小时候我的生活规则很简单,大人说不能和坏孩子交朋友我就抗拒了那么一下下。那时候天蓝风轻,...
评分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...
评分毛姆是以高更的生活经历为参考,创造查尔斯·斯特里克兰德这个角色的,这点大家现在都很清楚了。原书成书于1919年,第一次世界大战刚刚结束,全欧洲迎来新秩序和希望的时代。当时的毛姆45岁,正值创作巅峰期,《月亮与六便士》是他在全盛期写下的杰作,亦是其作家生涯的最重要...
