Shallow, poorly educated Kitty marries the passionate and intellectual Walter Fane and has an affair with a career politician, Charles Townsend, assistant colonial secretary of Hong Kong. When Walter discovers the relationship, he compels Kitty to accompany him to a cholera-infested region of mainland China, where she finds limited happiness working with children at a convent. But when Walter dies, she is forced to leave China and return to England. Generally abandoned, she grasps desperately for the affection of her one remaining relative, her long-ignored father. In the end, in sharp, unexamined contrast to her own behavior patterns, she asserts that her unborn daughter will grow up to be an independent woman. The Painted Veil was first published in 1925 and is usually described as a strong story about a woman's spiritual journey. To more pragmatic, modern eyes, Kitty's emotional growth appears minimal. Still, if not a major feminist work, the book has literary interest. Sophie Ward's uninflected reading is competent if not compelling.
W.薩默塞特·毛姆(WilliamSomersetMaugham),1874—1965,英國著名小說傢,劇作傢,散文傢。曾先後就讀於坎特伯雷的國王學校和德國海德堡大學,後到倫敦聖托馬斯醫院學醫,並取得外科醫師資格。 他的首部長篇小說《蘭貝斯的麗莎》於1897年發錶。1915年,他的傑作《人性的枷鎖》問世,1919年《月亮與六便士》的齣版確立瞭他作為長篇小說傢的地位。他的其他著作有長篇小說《刀鋒》、《麵紗》,旅行劄記《在中國屏風上》,及各種散文、短篇小說集等。1903—1933年期間,他創作瞭近30部劇本,深受觀眾歡迎。 毛姆被公認為20世紀在全世界範圍內流行最廣、最受歡迎的英國作傢之一,被譽為“最會講故事的作傢”。他的小說機智、幽默,常在譏諷中潛藏對人性的憐憫與同情。1952年,牛津大學授予他名譽博士學位。1954年,英王授予他“榮譽侍從”的稱號。

評分毛姆的個人遭遇使得描寫殖民地時能有一份悲天憫人的情懷,盡管東方在此書裏隻是一個背景和意淫對象,核心仍是西方救贖的價值觀。朗誦者Sophie Ward是我聽過的最美的女聲RP,想學習英音的女生模仿她就好瞭。廣告:各種英音有聲書資源,盡在“英文有聲書”小組matrim的“聊聊英音有聲書”帖子。

毛姆叔叔,从来不在毒舌这件事上让人失望,有时候想到一个口吃者能刻薄到这种地步,仿佛在现实中就是滔滔不绝,一句俏皮话取乐满场人的社交高手,真是造物主的神奇。 看到他笔下的人物偶然错开眼神、貌似不经意提起的短句、陡然升起的语调,凡此种种,统统拿来一番剖析,血淋...
評分 評分该《面纱》的初版紧随电影问世,后又被列入“重现经典”再版,但仍“重现”着初版中的错误,粗略统计近三百处,恐怕是近年来翻译作品中不多见的,很大程度上扭曲了这部优秀作品的真实含义。 其中,有望文生义、或粗心看错造成的误译: 比如,沃尔特弥留之际醒来,说了一句:“...
