內容簡介
Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.
作者簡介
William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's 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 Writer's Notebook. In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965

我是一個年輕的作傢,喜愛與文藝界人士交往的查理斯·思特裏剋蘭德太太自然地成瞭我的朋友,通過她也認識瞭她的全傢,查理斯·思特裏剋蘭德先生看上去有些乏味,但舉止得體,事業有成,是個成功的證券經紀人。妻子溫和優雅、招人喜愛,他們還有兩個健康活潑的孩子,是一個令人羨慕的傢庭,他們的生活模式給人以安詳親切之感。它使人想到一條平靜的小河蜿蜒流過綠茸茸的牧場,與鬱鬱的樹蔭交相掩映,直到最後匯入煙波浩渺的大海。[1]

但是,這種狀況沒有維持多久,一年夏天,就在這樣一個幸福平靜的傢庭裏,丈夫查理斯·思特裏剋蘭德不辭而彆去瞭巴黎。這個消息很快從思特裏剋蘭德太太本人那裏得到瞭確認。過後一兩天,她便拜托我去巴黎看看她先生究竟是怎麼一迴事,思特裏剋蘭德太太給我看瞭她丈夫的信,信很簡短,大意是:傢中一切都已經安排好瞭,他已決心和她分居另過,他要去巴黎,不再迴來。思特裏剋蘭德太太十分睏惑:“這麼突如其來,我們結婚17年瞭,……我做夢也沒想到查理斯是這樣一個人,會迷上瞭什麼人。……告訴他,他的傢在召喚他迴來。傢裏什麼都同過去一樣,……沒有他我無法生活下去。”[1]
