具体描述
I confess that when first I made acquaintance with Charles Strickland I never for a moment discerned that there was in him anything out of the ordinary. Yet now few will be found to deny his greatness. I do not speak of that greatness which is achieved by the fortunate politician or the successful soldier; that is a quality which belongs to the place he occupies rather than to the man; and a change of circumstances reduces it to very discreet proportions. The Prime Minister out of office is seen, too often, to have been but a pompous rhetorician, and the General without an army is but the tame hero of a market town. The greatness of Charles Strickland was authentic. It may be that you do not like his art, but at all events you can hardly refuse it the tribute of your interest. He disturbs and arrests. The time has passed when he was an object of ridicule, and it is no longer a mark of eccentricity to defend or of perversity to extol him. His faults are accepted as the necessary complement to his merits. It is still possible to discuss his place in art, and the adulation of his admirers is perhaps no less capricious than the disparagement of his detractors; but one thing can never be doubtful, and that is that he had genius. . . .
作者简介
威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆（William Somerset Maugham,1874 -1965)，英国小说家，剧作家，被誉为“故事圣手”。
生于巴黎，十岁前父母双亡，由叔叔接回英国抚养，因身材矮小，说话结巴，总被同龄人欺凌，性格孤僻敏感。
18岁在伦敦学医，后弃医从文。23岁时发表首部小说《兰贝斯的丽莎》，从此走上文学创作的道路。人生经历奇特，他做过助产，做过间谍，做过演员，做过救护车司机；他做过丈夫，做过情人，拒绝过女人的求婚，他的求婚也被另一个女人拒绝；他自称“四分之三喜欢女人，只有四分之一喜欢男人”。
在文学界，毛姆是一个优雅、老到、冷漠的人性观察者，几乎每一个人都能在他的故事中看到自己，这也让毛姆成为二十世纪炙手可热的作家。
他的后半生住在一座仙境般的别墅里，晚年几乎获得了整个欧洲文学界的一切殊荣。91岁时，逝于法国。

读后感
几个月前，我问一朋友生日时想收到什么礼物。他答曰：大美妞儿~我笑回：“书中自有千钟粟，书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉……”他不同意最后那句，旁征博引地回我：“……你说念个尼采念个权力意志……再整萨特啊……德里达啊……叔本华啊……洛克啊……祁克果……再鼓捣鼓捣...
评分 评分 评分有次跟邓正来吃饭，席间他批判现在人的“平庸”，我初以为这是精英对平民的歧视，他解释道：“我说的是平庸，平庸和平凡是两回事。平凡的人可以很伟大，而平庸的人即使成功也还是平庸。” 我看《月亮和六便士》的时候，就想起他这段话。 思特里克兰德，在四十多岁的时候，忽然...
评分我终于还是没能忍住在读完这篇小说后立即写一篇书评。自从用了多看阅读之后，我开始逐渐形成给自己注意的章句划线，兴之所至加上几句注释的习惯。这是一不小心就会有损纸质书的书本质量，或者空白处怎么都写不下自己的全部想法时难以想象的一种便利。而这部小说给我的感受是，...
