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

我是一个年轻的作家,喜爱与文艺界人士交往的查理斯·思特里克兰德太太自然地成了我的朋友,通过她也认识了她的全家,查理斯·思特里克兰德先生看上去有些乏味,但举止得体,事业有成,是个成功的证券经纪人。妻子温和优雅、招人喜爱,他们还有两个健康活泼的孩子,是一个令人羡慕的家庭,他们的生活模式给人以安详亲切之感。它使人想到一条平静的小河蜿蜒流过绿茸茸的牧场,与郁郁的树荫交相掩映,直到最后汇入烟波浩渺的大海。[1]
