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.
重读完英文版以后再次激动地热泪盈眶。不得不说这本书可以算是至今为之我最喜欢且对我影响最大的一本小说了。 作为个体，我一生所追寻的无非是一种感受，并非摒弃理性，并非为情感而左右颠覆，但只是感受罢了，追随情感而行，就如书中所追随的美与人生一样。Artist的独衷。 嗯，英文阅读速度得到了很大的提升。感动T T. Ps.“又何必要把爱情看的太重”纯作为一种情感的体验罢了。这点倒也是挺好的。

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…
