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30年下来,发现自己最受不了的就是贫穷
评分这鸡汤太老太生硬了,价值观没问题?自我陶醉的最高境界,就是个精神病。 如果他画了二十多年还是一坨屎呢?难道只要结果是成功的,所有的错都是合理的?都可以解读为成功的必要条件?邪恶灵魂的作品能善良吗?谁没个爱好呢,谁都可以不顾一切去追求自己想做的事,因为不负责任是最简单的,是最原始的兽性,都不需要学习,跟随内心就好了。这种原始的行为是自然的,何必非要引申的太崇高? 所谓的艺术品只在极少数同好者眼里有价值,出了圈子,只是可有可无的东西,可能都不值6便士,更不能和月亮相比。
评分30年下来,发现自己最受不了的就是贫穷
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。
