William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at Kings School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writers Notebook.
In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965

The reading through of Maugham’s Of Human Bondage is quite an odyssey, full of tumults, jammed with details, and endless. When I finally finished the 628-page novel (definitely the longest one I’ve ever finished) yesterday morning I found myself somewha...
评分15岁的时候,我读到了这本书。 其中这一段,直到今天我也不敢重看。 “你具有某种手工上的灵巧,经过刻苦努力和坚持不懈,没有理由成不了一个认真的,还算能干的画家。你能够找到数以百计比你画得差的人,也可以找到数以百计画得同你不相上下的人。在你让我看的所有画作中我看...
评分继《月亮与六便士》,《刀锋》以后,又一鼓作气把《人生的枷锁》看完了。毛姆的文笔简练,冷静中透着幽默,读起来如行云流水,实足是一种享受。 但我非要为《人生的枷锁》写上一篇评论的原因,恰恰是因为这是三者中最令我感到痛苦的一本书。这种痛苦源自于对生活真相毫不掩饰...
评分看毛姆的小说《人生的枷锁》,一直想到那句话,人生而自由,却无往不在枷锁之中。 《人生的枷锁》是自传体性质的小说,主人公菲利普身上,有着毛姆的影子。自小成为孤儿,身体残疾,在冷酷无情的牧师大伯家中长大。在学校里受到同学、老师的嘲笑和欺侮,养成了孤僻、内向、敏...
评分周末,从长乐路往华山路上拐过去,在希尔顿酒店对面,有几间灯红酒绿的小酒吧,一律是黄木窗棂,门外放了整整齐齐的桌子、椅子。我们路过时,八点左右,几间酒吧除了洋酒缤纷外,客人寥寥无几。只有一家酒吧,触目地与马路对面尊贵的希尔顿酒店,做着有趣的对峙。10多位女人,...

Of Human Bondage is the first and most autobiographical of Maugham’s masterpieces. It is the story of Philip Carey, an orphan eager for life, love and adventure. After a few months studying in Heidelberg, and a brief spell in Paris as would-be artist, Philip settles in London to train as a doctor. And that is where he meets Mildred, the loud but irresistible waitress with whom he plunges into a formative, tortured and masochistic affair which very nearly ruins him.
就篇幅论,更适合我的是《刀锋》
评分没有找到中国画报出版社的发行版,此封面与之最为相近。 缺陷的存在,可以督促时刻保持自省能力。 一个gentlman三十岁的人生之后,并非从从容容但也初具规模了。
评分刚开始不喜欢男主人公,觉得他眼高手低,自以为是,性格软弱,但越到后面越希望他能找到幸福。

评分一口气才读完30%,这口气不要憋得太长…读毛叔这本书,就好像真的跟着主人公经历了他的一个一个人生阶段,非常写实,主人公的成长也是循序渐进,没有所谓的性格突变,只有理所当然。
