In 1916, William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) travelled to the Pacific to research his novel "The Moon and Sixpence," based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which were to establish Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output.---Maugham reused elements of his Pacific diaries in "The Trembling of a Leaf" (1921), which contains one of his most recognized stories, "Rain," adapted to the stage by John Colton and Clemence Randolph in 1922.

评分 评分之前一位很喜欢毛姆的人推荐给我的一本书。上一次看毛姆的书好像是《面纱》,大概已经一年没有读他的书。他的《刀锋》对我的影响甚大。 我喜欢这本书的翻译,读起来流畅又不缺文采。其中喜欢的短篇有《雨》《阿赤》《爱德华巴纳德的堕落》,这些篇章仍能看出他一如既往冷静地剖...
