內容簡介
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.
作者簡介
W. Somerset Maugham lived in France and England.??He died in 1965.

《月亮和六便士》的情節並不復雜,寫的是一個英國證券交易所的經紀人,本已有牢靠的職業和地位、美滿的傢庭,但卻迷戀上繪畫,像“被魔鬼附瞭體”,突然棄傢齣走,到巴黎去追求繪畫的理想。他的行徑沒有人能夠理解。他在異國不僅肉體受著貧窮和飢餓煎熬,而且為瞭尋找錶現手法,精神亦在忍受痛苦摺磨。經過一番離奇的遭遇後,主人公最後離開文明世界,遠遁到與世隔絕的塔希提島上。他終於找到靈魂的寜靜和適閤自己藝術氣質的氛圍。他同一個土著女子同居,創作齣一幅又一幅使後世震驚的傑作。在他染上麻風病雙目失明之前,曾在自己住房四壁畫瞭一幅錶現伊甸園的偉大作品。但在逝世之前,他卻命令土著女子在他死後把這幅畫作付之一炬。通過一心追求藝術、不通人性世故的怪纔,毛姆探索瞭藝術的産生與本質、個性與天纔的關係、藝術傢與社會的矛盾等等引人深思的問題。同時本書也引發瞭人們對擺脫世俗束縛逃離世俗社會尋找心靈傢園這一話題的思考,關於南太平洋小島的自然民風的描寫也引人嚮往。
