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 circum-stances 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. To my mind the most interesting thing in art is the personality of the artist; and if that is singular, I am willing to excuse a thousand faults. I suppose Velasquez was a better painter than El Greco, but custom stales one's admiration for him:

有次跟邓正来吃饭,席间他批判现在人的“平庸”,我初以为这是精英对平民的歧视,他解释道:“我说的是平庸,平庸和平凡是两回事。平凡的人可以很伟大,而平庸的人即使成功也还是平庸。” 我看《月亮和六便士》的时候,就想起他这段话。 思特里克兰德,在四十多岁的时候,忽然...

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...

每个人心中都住着一个孩子,他总在和现实中的你唱反调,你却一直不肯抛弃他,甚至你觉得他,才是真实的你,而那个大家眼中的你,根本不是你。 他常常被你忽略,就像你会因为工作的忙碌,而疏忽家人一样。你对他的爱,也像是对家人一样,不会因为时间和距离而消逝,而是越来越...
