结尾太平了吧 感觉像草草收尾 不爱的人永远无法爱上吗 本能的爱和精神的爱 没有前者 后者的力量竟会如此薄弱吗

评分

这种“无法逃避的命运”的话题真是被毛姆偏爱啊,所以其实全书也是Kitty揭开面纱的过程吧。说真的最后实在是过于诚实了。

a man's death in exchange for a woman's growth

lift not the painted veil those who live call life

毛姆的笔力之精湛 就在于着墨不多的人物也不平面化 几组对比与对照意象的设置非常工整 然则结尾新生活的曙光并不能照亮这个不快乐的故事啊

The Painted Veil 在线电子书 著者简介

William Somerset Maugham, CH (January 25, 1874 – December 16, 1965) was an English playwright, novelist, and short story writer. He was one of the most popular authors achieving recognition as the highest paid of his profession during the 1930s.

Commercial success with high book sales, successful play productions and a string of film adaptations, backed by astute stock market investments, allowed Maugham to live a very comfortable life. Small and weak as a boy, Maugham had been proud even then of his stamina, and as an adult he kept churning out the books, proud that he could.

Yet, despite his triumphs, he never attracted the highest respect from the critics or his peers. Maugham himself attributed this to his lack of "lyrical quality", his small vocabulary and failure to make expert use of metaphor in his work.

It seems equally likely that Maugham was underrated because he wrote in such a direct style. There was nothing in a book by Maugham that the reading public needed explained to them by critics. Maugham thought clearly, wrote lucidly, and expressed acerbic and sometimes cynical opinions in handsome, civilized prose. He wrote in a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and won critical acclaim. In this context, his writing was criticized as "such a tissue of clichés that one's wonder is finally aroused at the writer's ability to assemble so many and at his unfailing inability to put anything in an individual way"[16].

Maugham's homosexual leanings also shaped his fiction, in two ways. Since, in life, he tended to see attractive women as sexual rivals, he often gave the women of his fiction sexual needs and appetites, in a way quite unusual for distinguished authors of his time. "Liza of Lambeth," "Cakes and Ale" and "The Razor's Edge" all featured women determined to service their strong sexual appetites, heedless of the result.

Also, the fact that Maugham's own sexual appetites were highly disapproved of, or even criminal, in nearly all of the countries in which he traveled, made Maugham unusually tolerant of the vices of others. Readers and critics often complained that Maugham did not clearly enough condemn what was bad in the villains of his fiction and plays. Maugham replied in 1938: "It must be a fault in me that I am not gravely shocked at the sins of others unless they personally affect me."

Maugham's public account of his abilities remained modest; toward the end of his career he described himself as "in the very first row of the second-raters". In 1954, he was made a Companion of Honour.

Maugham had begun collecting theatrical paintings before the First World War and continued to the point where his collection was second only to that of the Garrick Club[17]. In 1948 he announced that he would bequeath this collection to the Trustees of the National Theatre, and from 1951, some 14 years before his death, it began its exhibition life and in 1994 they were placed on loan to the Theatre Museum in Covent Garden.

The Painted Veil 在线电子书 图书描述

Shallow, poorly educated Kitty marries the passionate and intellectual Walter Fane and has an affair with a career politician, Charles Townsend, assistant colonial secretary of Hong Kong. When Walter discovers the relationship, he compels Kitty to accompany him to a cholera-infested region of mainland China, where she finds limited happiness working with children at a convent. But when Walter dies, she is forced to leave China and return to England. Generally abandoned, she grasps desperately for the affection of her one remaining relative, her long-ignored father. In the end, in sharp, unexamined contrast to her own behavior patterns, she asserts that her unborn daughter will grow up to be an independent woman. The Painted Veil was first published in 1925 and is usually described as a strong story about a woman's spiritual journey. To more pragmatic, modern eyes, Kitty's emotional growth appears minimal. Still, if not a major feminist work, the book has literary interest. Sophie Ward's uninflected reading is competent if not compelling.

The Painted Veil 在线电子书 读后感

该《面纱》的初版紧随电影问世,后又被列入“重现经典”再版,但仍“重现”着初版中的错误,粗略统计近三百处,恐怕是近年来翻译作品中不多见的,很大程度上扭曲了这部优秀作品的真实含义。 其中,有望文生义、或粗心看错造成的误译: 比如,沃尔特弥留之际醒来,说了一句:“...

“我对你不抱什么幻想,我知道你愚蠢、轻浮、没有头脑,但是我爱你。我知道你的目标和理想既庸俗又普通,但是我爱你。我知道你是二流货色,但是我爱你。”这是沃尔特对凯蒂的对白。 “这样说来,她不爱他,却爱着那个她已看穿的卑鄙小人,这就让人费解了。她想着,想着,用一个...
