In 1916, William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) travelled to the Pacific to research his novel "The Moon and Sixpence," based on the life of Paul Gauguin. This was the first of those journeys through the late-Imperial world of the 1920s and 1930s which were to establish Maugham forever in the popular imagination as the chronicler of the last days of colonialism in India, Southeast Asia, China and the Pacific, although the books on which this reputation rests represent only a fraction of his output.---Maugham reused elements of his Pacific diaries in "The Trembling of a Leaf" (1921), which contains one of his most recognized stories, "Rain," adapted to the stage by John Colton and Clemence Randolph in 1922.

84,愛德華的墮落,淚目。同樣的衣領,同樣的鞋子,同樣的藍色外套,同樣乾勁十足,也是同樣意誌堅定。的確,我那時精力充沛。這個地方昏昏欲睡的生活方式讓人心癢難忍。…那就開始乾吧,愛德華。你既有想法又有能力。是啊,你會成為從澳大利亞到美國之間的土地上最富有的人。...
評分《麥金托什》 “寬恕他們,因為他們不知道自己做瞭什麼。”如果我知道自己做瞭壞事我就無法寬恕自己,也存在一些人永遠不知道自己做瞭壞事而洋洋得意。這能責怪誰呢? 《愛德華•巴納德的墜落》 當一個無賴對著正派人耍無賴時,應該是非常好玩的事吧。哈哈哈哈哈哈我實在太想...
