Book Description
It seems unthinkable that Charles Strickland, the dull, bourgeois city gent, would have the tortured soul of a genius. Yet Strickland is driven to abandon his home, wife, and children to devote himself slavishly to painting. In a tiny studio in Paris he fills canvas after canvas, refusing to sell or even exhibit his work. Beset by poverty, sickness, and his own intransigent nature, he drifts to Tahiti, where, even after being blinded by leprosy, he produces some of his most extraordinary works of art. First published in 1919 and inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is a study of a man possessed by the need to create - regardless of the cost to himself or others.

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》。
前四百页好看,后面总在等高潮或者结束;strickland两段莫名奇妙的爱情,像尼采中年末尾,需要结婚,不是因为爱情,而是因为身体太糟需要女人照顾;我总在期待strickland死后毛姆对人性天才 寻找自身之类的话题做一些解释,可是他什么都没有说。
评分抽空得重看一遍,必须的!
评分"Unconsciously, perhaps, we treasure the power we have over people by their regard for our opinion of them, and we hate those upon whom we have no such influence. I suppose it is the bitterest wound to human pride."
评分It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vasty sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness. In my heart was a desire to live more dangerously. 请务必不要沉这入海中
评分He was eternally a pilgrim, haunted by a divine nostalgia, and the demon within him was ruthless. There are men whose desire for beauty is so great that to attain it they will shatter the very foundation of their world.
公司的技术部门分了许多小组,我们小组就三个人。我右边的同事,一个月前,他跟朋友做的网站拿到投资,后来辞职走了,全职创业。 那时,我在朋友圈发状态跟大家讨论(2014年5月16日:http://www.douban.com/note/351525921/),你觉得你存够多少钱,或者说,存够几年的日常开...
评分 评分对我来说,世界上最难的事情是什么?不,不是穿了新衣服吹了新发型不去照镜子……当然这个也挺难的,我基本做不到。但严肃地说,更难的事情是,怎么才能,知道自己应该如何生活。 小时候我的生活规则很简单,大人说不能和坏孩子交朋友我就抗拒了那么一下下。那时候天蓝风轻,...
评分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...
