William Somerset Maugham nWilliam Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874-16 December 1965) was a British playwright, novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. nAfter losing both his parents by the age of 10, Maugham was raised by a paternal uncle who was emotionally cold. Not wanting to become a lawyer like other men in his family, Maugham eventually trained and qualified as a doctor. The first run of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), sold out so rapidly that Maugham gave up medicine to write full-time. n During the First World War, he served with the Red Cross and in the ambulance corps, before being recruited in 1916 into the British Secret Intelligence Service, for which he worked in Switzerland and Russia before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917. During and after the war, he traveled in India and Southeast Asia; all of these experiences were reflected in later short stories and novels.

好难…
评分一本早该读的书。
评分这几年时常听说这本书,想着找来看一下。刚读了个开头,这书我读过啊。简直不敢相信,直接拖到结尾,原来我果然是读过的。大概是14年左右?那时智能手机刚兴起,我在开卷有益上读的,因为阅读实在是太方便了,我捡起了这个遗忘许久的爱好,那一阵子很是读了一些文学名著。可惜外语学习和文学阅读很快让位于晋江网文和一大堆不知所云的巨吃时间的小游戏。好快啊,五年一晃而过,我的月亮和六便士都保不住了。
