內容簡介
為什麼叫“月亮與六便士”？其實，用毛姆自己的話說，這個書名的意義並沒有在由英國W.毛姆所著的《月亮與六便士（英文版）》一書裏得到應有的展示，而是齣自某評論傢在評論上述《人性的枷鎖》（參見“經典英語文庫”第一輯書目）時所寫的某句話。原話如下：《人性的枷鎖》裏的主人公菲利普·凱利（PhilipCarey）被形容為一個太過執著找尋月亮的傢夥，以至於他從來就沒發現過腳底下就有一塊六便士。毛姆後來這樣解釋道：“假如你低頭在地上不住地要找尋一塊六便士硬幣，頭也不抬起來一下，那麼，你就會丟掉月亮。”作者簡介
William Somerset Maugham
William 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.
After 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.
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.

精彩書摘
《最經典英語文庫：月亮與六便士》：I confess that when first I made acquaintance with Charles Strickland I never for a moment discerned that there was in him anything out of the ordinary. Yet now few will be found to deny his greatness. I do not speak of that greatness which is achieved by the fortunate politician or the successful soldier; that is a quality which belongs to the place he occupies rather than to the man; and a change of circumstances reduces it to very discreet proportions.The Prime Minister out of office is seen, too often,to have been but a pompous thetorician, and the General without an army is but the tame hero ofa market town.The greatness of Charles Strickland was authentic. It may be that you do not like his art, but at all events you can hardly refuse it the tribute of your interest.He disturbs and arrests. The time has passed when he was an object of ridicule, and it is no longer a mark of eccentricity to defend or of perversity to extol him. His faults are accepted as the necessary complement to his merits. It is still possible to discuss his place in art, and the adulation of his admirers is perhaps no less capricious than the disparagement of his detractors;but one thing can never be doubtful, and that is that he had genius. To my mind the most interesting thing in art is the personality of the artist; and if that is singular, I am willing to excuse a thousand faults. I suppose Velasquez was a better painter than El Greco,but custom stales one's admiration for him: the Cretan,sensual and tragic, proffers the mystery of his soul like a standing sacrifice. The artist, painter, poet, or musician, by his decoration, sublime or beautiful,satisfies the aesthetic sense; but that is akin to the sexual instinct, and shares its barbarity: he lays before you also the greater gift of himself. To pursue his secret has something of the fascination of a detective story. It is a riddle which shares with the universe the merit of having no answer. The most insignificant of Strickland's works suggests a personality which is strange, tormented, and complex; and it is this surely which prevents even those who do not like his pictures from being indifferent to them; it is this which has excited so cunous an interest in his life and character.
It was not till four years after Strickland's death that Maurice Huret wrote that article in the Mercure de France which rescued the unknown painter from oblivion and blazed the trail which succeeding writers, with more or less docility, have followed. For a long time no critic has enjoyed in France a more incontestable authority, and it was impossible not to be impressed by the claims he made; they seemed extravagant; but later judgments have confirmed his estimate, and the reputation of Charles Strickland is now firmly established on the lines which he laid down. The rise of this reputation is one of the most romantic incidents in the history of art. But I do not propose to deal with Charles Strickland's work except in so far as it touches upon his character. I cannot agree with the painters who claim superciliously that the layman can understand nothing of painting,and that he can best show his appreciation of their works by silence and a cheque-book. It is a grotesque misapprehension which sees in art no more than a craft comprehensible perfectly only to the craftsman:art is a manifestation of emotion, and emotion speaks a language that all may understand.

用戶評價
從文學史的角度來看，這本書的語言運用達到瞭一個令人嘆服的高度。它沒有冗餘的辭藻堆砌，每一個詞語的選擇都仿佛經過瞭韆錘百煉，精準到位，卻又充滿力量。尤其是一些場景的白描，寥寥數筆就能勾勒齣異國風情或人物內心的荒涼。我注意到作者在處理異域環境的描寫時，那種客觀冷靜的觀察視角，既保留瞭異域的陌生感，又將其與人物的精神狀態緊密地聯係起來，形成瞭一種奇妙的共鳴。這種剋製的美感，正是成熟作傢的標誌。我甚至開始嘗試模仿那種簡潔有力的句式去記錄自己的日常感悟，結果發現，要達到那種毫不費力的精準，背後需要極其深厚的文字功底作為支撐。這種對語言藝術的極緻追求，使得這本書即便在百年之後閱讀，也絲毫沒有過時之感，它更像是一塊經過時間打磨的鑽石，光芒依舊銳利耀眼。
這本書的封麵設計本身就帶著一種沉靜而引人遐思的氣質，那種老式印刷品的質感，讓人仿佛能聞到紙張泛黃的墨香。我拿到手的時候，就被它那種內斂的優雅吸引住瞭。裝幀的細節處理得非常到位，看得齣齣版方在打造這套“經典文庫”時所下的功夫。內頁的字體排版也十分講究，字號大小適中，行距舒適，即便是長時間閱讀也不會感到眼睛疲勞。要知道，閱讀體驗很大程度上取決於這種物理層麵的接觸感，好的裝幀能極大地提升閱讀的儀式感和沉浸感。我尤其欣賞它在保持經典韻味的同時，又融入瞭現代閱讀的舒適度，沒有那種老舊書籍的晦澀感，拿在手上，就是一種享受。我常常在周末的午後，泡上一杯紅茶，翻開它，光是摩挲著書頁的邊緣，就已經進入瞭一種與世隔絕的寜靜狀態。它不僅僅是一本書，更像是一個精心打磨的物件，放在書架上也是一道風景，彰顯著主人對文學的敬重。
初次翻閱時，我就被作者那種近乎冷峻的敘事筆觸所震撼。他的文字像一把冰冷的刻刀，精準而毫不留情地剖析著人性深處那些難以啓齒的動機與掙紮。敘事的節奏感掌握得爐火純青，看似平鋪直敘，實則暗流湧動，每一個場景的切換，每一次對話的留白，都充滿瞭暗示和張力。我特彆留意瞭作者是如何處理人物心理活動的描摹，那不是直白的內心獨白，而是一種通過行為和環境側麵烘托齣來的復雜心境。讀起來，你得自己去拼湊那些破碎的片段，去感受人物在道德、理想與現實之間拉扯時的那種撕裂感。這種高超的敘事技巧，讓讀者不得不全神貫注，生怕漏掉任何一個細微的暗示。它不像某些暢銷小說那樣直接將情感喂到你嘴邊，而是要求你參與到解讀的過程中來，這無疑提升瞭閱讀的智力挑戰性，讓人讀完後忍不住迴味再三，思考作者究竟想通過這種方式錶達什麼更深層次的哲學思考。
這本書帶給讀者的閱讀體驗，是持續而具有滲透性的，它不像一部情節驅動的小說那樣看完就束之高閣。相反，它像一粒種子，在你腦海裏生根發芽，讓你在日常生活的瑣碎中，時不時地被某個場景或某句颱詞擊中。比如在處理人際關係的復雜性時，那種對人性弱點的洞察力，至今仍讓我心有餘悸。每當我遇到生活中那種錶裏不一或利益權衡的場景時，總會不由自主地聯想到書中的某些人物和他們的抉擇。這種後勁十足的閱讀效果，正是衡量一部偉大作品的標準之一。它不是提供一個簡單的故事，而是提供瞭一套看待世界的、略帶悲觀但異常清醒的透鏡。我甚至會推薦給那些正處於人生十字路口的年輕人，它不會直接告訴你答案，但它提供的思考框架，遠比任何心靈雞湯都要來得堅實和深刻。這本書值得被反復閱讀，每一次重溫，都會帶來新的領悟，因為我們自己的人生也在不斷變化，對“經典”的理解也隨之迭代更新。

這本書給我最大的觸動，在於它對“個體自由”與“社會責任”之間那永恒矛盾的探討。作者似乎毫不猶豫地站在瞭那個追求極端個人價值實現的一方，展現瞭為瞭追逐內心深處那份原始的、近乎野蠻的創作衝動，一個人可以付齣多麼巨大的代價，以及對周圍世界造成何種程度的衝擊。我看著主人公一次次地捨棄世俗的一切——名譽、財富、安穩的傢庭——去追逐一種虛無縹緲的藝術至高點，內心充滿瞭復雜的情緒。這讓我不禁反思，我們現代人被各種條條框框束縛得太久，是否已經失去瞭傾聽內心最真實聲音的勇氣？這種對傳統價值體係的徹底顛覆，不是簡單的叛逆，而是一種近乎宗教般虔誠的獻祭，它以一種近乎殘忍的真實，撕開瞭“成功”定義下的虛僞麵紗。讀罷全書，我甚至對自己的生活選擇産生瞭動搖，它強迫我去直麵那些我一直試圖迴避的、關於“何為真正有意義的人生”的終極拷問。
