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.

麦金托什:人就是这样复杂又矛盾的生物,以为厌恶到了极致可又在某个瞬间或因为一件小事就又觉得讨厌的那个人是可爱的。 爱德华·巴纳德的堕落:这篇和月亮与六便士有些相似,爱德华找到了灵魂的幸福,远离物质的浮华让他找到了心灵的安宁。但在贝特曼眼中这是堕落,追求不同,谁...
評分《麦金托什》 “宽恕他们,因为他们不知道自己做了什么。”如果我知道自己做了坏事我就无法宽恕自己,也存在一些人永远不知道自己做了坏事而洋洋得意。这能责怪谁呢? 《爱德华•巴纳德的坠落》 当一个无赖对着正派人耍无赖时,应该是非常好玩的事吧。哈哈哈哈哈哈我实在太想...
