内容简介
Based on the life of Paul Gauguin,
The Moon and Sixpence is W. Somerset Maugham's ode to the powerful forces behind creative genius.
Charles Strickland is a staid banker, a man of wealth and privilege.??He is also a man possessed of an unquenchable desire to create art.??As Strickland pursues his artistic vision, he leaves London for Paris and Tahiti, and in his quest makes sacrifices that leaves the lives of those closest to him in tatters.??Through Maugham's sympathetic eye Stricland's tortured and cruel soul becomes a symbol of the blessing and the curse of transcendent artistic genius, and the cost in humans lives it sometimes demands.
作者简介
W. Somerset Maugham lived in France and England.??He died in 1965.

毛姆的文字有一种功力,宛若思特里克兰德的绘画那般,倾尽了全力的描述,把读者带入了一个抛弃一切而追逐艺术的精神境界。也许,没有完全带入,只是在某个瞬间,如一束阳光照亮了读者的心。透过这书阳光,我看到了天空的一角。

《月亮和六便士》的情节并不复杂,写的是一个英国证券交易所的经纪人,本已有牢靠的职业和地位、美满的家庭,但却迷恋上绘画,像“被魔鬼附了体”,突然弃家出走,到巴黎去追求绘画的理想。他的行径没有人能够理解。他在异国不仅肉体受着贫穷和饥饿煎熬,而且为了寻找表现手法,精神亦在忍受痛苦折磨。经过一番离奇的遭遇后,主人公最后离开文明世界,远遁到与世隔绝的塔希提岛上。他终于找到灵魂的宁静和适合自己艺术气质的氛围。他同一个土著女子同居,创作出一幅又一幅使后世震惊的杰作。在他染上麻风病双目失明之前,曾在自己住房四壁画了一幅表现伊甸园的伟大作品。但在逝世之前,他却命令土著女子在他死后把这幅画作付之一炬。通过一心追求艺术、不通人性世故的怪才,毛姆探索了艺术的产生与本质、个性与天才的关系、艺术家与社会的矛盾等等引人深思的问题。同时本书也引发了人们对摆脱世俗束缚逃离世俗社会寻找心灵家园这一话题的思考,关于南太平洋小岛的自然民风的描写也引人向往。
