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.
William Somerset Maugham was born in Paris in 1874. He spoke French even before he spoke a word of English, a fact to which some critics attribute the purity of his style.
His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in 'Of Human Bondage' , Maugham became a qualified physician. But writing was his true vocation. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays.
During World War I, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service . He travelled all over the world, and made many visits to America. After World War II, Maugham made his home in south of France and continued to move between England and Nice till his death in 1965.
What a novel! 太棒了!

评分Maugham is really one of my favourite. He writes stories briefly. Dialogue, the relationships between people, the beginning, process and ending can be seen clearly. And I really love his tone. There is always an "I" in his novel, which makes me moving. However, this time i found something i did not notice before. From Moon to the Razor's edge, he found his way just like Strickland found his way to express through painting. Maugham is not able to describe the so-called power and home in this book, but he suceeded in the Razor's Edge. However, i still love the Moon and Sixpence the best. it's amazing to see the combination of these simple and shadow words brings such great influence everytime he described the paintings. it also shocks me again when i read chapter 50. Abraham, the name of faith. i still cling to the hope of one day i meet my own permanent Alexandria. To leave or to stay is of no importance. Just to meet it is enough for my forever nostalgia.
评分自觉看美国人的当代小说基本没什么问题,到了英国人那膝盖就要跪碎了。我得找中文版看看…
评分Strickland 为什么喜欢 Bruegel 呢?
书在开头就设下了一个巨大的谜团。一位在银行工作,有体面收入,家庭生活和睦的先生,一声不响地跑去了一个大城市,只给妻子儿女留下来一张“晚饭做好了”的字条。所有人都认为他跟一位女人私奔了。“我”受他的妻子委托,前往巴黎寻找他并求他回家,却得到了他要在那里画画的...
评分毛姆是个非常聪明的作家。非常,聪明。 写东西好的人其实不一定聪明。他是真聪明。 他是个非常认真的读者。比起其他毒舌,他读的书多到逆天。而且他还很八卦,看看他写的司汤达评传和福楼拜评传好了。他对作者心理的把握极高明。 也只有他敢说巴尔扎克、托尔斯泰、陀思妥耶夫...
评分查尔斯·思特里克兰德的人生大致分三段:在伦敦、在巴黎(马赛)和在塔希提。毛姆花了最多的篇幅描述他在巴黎的一场大病和一次艳遇,而他在这一场遭遇里几乎扮演了一个完全的反面角色,他忘恩负义、毫无同情心和基本的礼貌教养,相对的,除了施特略夫的只言片语,作者对他的绘...
