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

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...

评分一、毛姆爷爷,我竟没有早点认出你? 过去三天,除了必须出现在教室,除了吃饭睡觉,我把几乎所有的时间花在毛姆爷爷的大作上,一天一本,一口气读完了《月亮》、《刀锋》、《枷锁》。作为一枚资深小说发烧友,我为无数小说疯狂过,可是从来没有一个作家让我如此动情。 更可...

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.

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。
