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

但是,这种状况没有维持多久,一年夏天,就在这样一个幸福平静的家庭里,丈夫查理斯·思特里克兰德不辞而别去了巴黎。这个消息很快从思特里克兰德太太本人那里得到了确认。过后一两天,她便拜托我去巴黎看看她先生究竟是怎么一回事,思特里克兰德太太给我看了她丈夫的信,信很简短,大意是:家中一切都已经安排好了,他已决心和她分居另过,他要去巴黎,不再回来。思特里克兰德太太十分困惑:“这么突如其来,我们结婚17年了,……我做梦也没想到查理斯是这样一个人,会迷上了什么人。……告诉他,他的家在召唤他回来。家里什么都同过去一样,……没有他我无法生活下去。”[1]
