内容简介
Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.
作者简介
William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writer's Notebook. In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965

第一次知道这个小说是从刘瑜那里。威廉·萨默赛特),英国著名小说家和戏剧家。他出生于巴黎,父母早丧,回英国叔父家寄居,并在英国受教育。在大学他虽然攻读医学,但对文学兴趣颇浓。第一部长篇小说《兰贝斯的丽莎》(1897)就是根据他做见习医生期间在伦敦贫民区所见所闻写成的。他从此走上文学道路,并赴世界各地旅行、搜集素材。毛姆最初以戏剧家闻名,自二十世纪初约三十年间,共创作了近三十部剧作。早在一九〇八年,他的四部戏剧在伦敦四座剧院同时上演,毛姆之名即已红极一时,但他的主要文学成就却在小说创作上。带有自传性质的《人性的枷锁》(1915)、追述英国一位文坛巨匠往事的《寻欢作乐》(1930)以及
