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.

评分平淡无聊的工作之余看的原版,陆陆续续地读了快3个月。对整本书的印象谈不上多好,一方面可能是英文水平仍有待提高,无法自如地欣赏作者的遣词造句;另一方面,确实是觉得这样的主角实在太渣,以至不能对这样的生活产生任何共情。甚至我在想,这些其实本来也不怎么存在于最高尚...

Oh hell no.
评分我是老了吧?Strickland的生活我想也不敢想→_→
评分when you hurt a man, hurt him bad. It gives you a bit of time to look about and think what you'll do next.
评分一直都听说月亮与六便士,一直都没看,然后看起来的时候有点欲罢不能,果然精彩。只是,天才之所以为天才就是人人不可能都是疯子了。
评分30年下来,发现自己最受不了的就是贫穷
