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.
平淡无聊的工作之余看的原版,陆陆续续地读了快3个月。对整本书的印象谈不上多好,一方面可能是英文水平仍有待提高,无法自如地欣赏作者的遣词造句;另一方面,确实是觉得这样的主角实在太渣,以至不能对这样的生活产生任何共情。甚至我在想,这些其实本来也不怎么存在于最高尚...
评分 评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...
评分 评分练阅读选的,断断续续在睡前读完了,结尾好像在做梦
评分英文原版读起来很畅快,文字没有绕来绕去。虽然一开始有点被主人公那句“i want to paint”感动,但是后面的剧情发展已经超出我的理解能力了。特别是他觉得女人只知道爱情,去他妈的。巴黎以后的部分没有兴趣看完。
评分一直都听说月亮与六便士,一直都没看,然后看起来的时候有点欲罢不能,果然精彩。只是,天才之所以为天才就是人人不可能都是疯子了。
评分原始的粗暴的简洁的力量和美,没有一丝后天人文的修正。假如野兽会画画,应该就是这样直白的表达。很多次我通过“作者”和他的对话感受到挫败,也感受到他莫名的吸引力。我厌恶他inhuman的部分,但是却从他inhuman的部分中感受到别人所不能具备的特色。
评分30年下来,发现自己最受不了的就是贫穷
