SOMERSET MAUGHAM(ISBN=9781400030521) pdf mobi txt 2024 电子版 下载

　　An instinctive and magnificent storyteller, Somerset Maugham

was one of the most popular and successful writers of his time. He

published seventy-eight books -- including the undisputed classics

Of Human Bondage and The Razor’s Edge -- which sold over 40 million

copies in his lifetime.

Born in Paris to sophisticated parents, Willie Maugham was

orphaned at the age of ten and brought up in a small English

coastal town by narrow-minded relatives. He was trained as a

doctor, but never practiced medicine. His novel Ashenden, based on

his own espionage for Britain in World War I, influenced writers

from Eric Ambler to John le Carr?. After a failed affair with an

actress, he married another man’s mistress, but reserved his

greatest love for a man who shared his life for nearly thirty

years. He traveled the world and spoke several languages. Despite a

debilitating stutter, and an acerbic and formal manner, he

entertained literary celebrities and royalty at his villa in the

south of France. He made a fortune from his writing--the short

story “Rain” alone earned him a million dollars–yet true critical

recognition, and the esteem of his literary peers, eluded him. The

life of Somerset Maugham, as told by acclaimed biographer Jeffrey

Meyers, is an intriguing, glamorous, complex, and extraordinary

account of one of the twentieth century’s most enduring

writers.

媒体评论

　　“Meyers’s portrait of the long-lived Maugham and his

tumultuous time is both nuanced and concise, a biography without a

wasted word.” —The Washington Post Book World

  　“Excellent. . . . [W]ell-written, entertaining, and of

admirable brevity. . . . Meyers paints a convincing picture of the

development of [Maugham’s] complex character.” --The New

Criterion

  　“Maugham is the perfect subject for a biography. . . .

Meyers knows how to select his details . . . and arrange them into

a well-paced narrative.” --The Philadelphia Inquirer

  　“Meyers . . . mounts a persuasive defense of Maugham’s art,

keenly mapping his influence on V.S. Naipaul, George Orwell, and

Paul Theroux.” —The New Yorker

书籍介绍

An instinctive and magnificent storyteller, Somerset Maugham was one of the most popular and successful writers of his time. He published seventy-eight books -- including the undisputed classics Of Human Bondage and The Razor’s Edge -- which sold over 40 million copies in his lifetime.

Born in Paris to sophisticated parents, Willie Maugham was orphaned at the age of ten and brought up in a small English coastal town by narrow-minded relatives. He was trained as a doctor, but never practiced medicine. His novel Ashenden , based on his own espionage for Britain in World War I, influenced writers from Eric Ambler to John le Carr?. After a failed affair with an actress, he married another man’s mistress, but reserved his greatest love for a man who shared his life for nearly thirty years. He traveled the world and spoke several languages. Despite a debilitating stutter, and an acerbic and formal manner, he entertained literary celebrities and royalty at his villa in the south of France.

  我承认他这本号称“人人都能懂”的天书，我只看懂20%。第一部分通用工具基本上能懂，后面的各种泵，正如部分网友说的，“曾经深爱汇编语言的我都看晕了，所以文科生不要觉得自己笨，随便找本单片机原理比他讲的清楚。一句话能说清楚的东西，越说越乱……作者想讲的太多了，以至于显摆知识，冲淡了重点。”我很怀疑那些“拍案叫绝”的读者们，是真的看懂了，还是只是“觉得”牛逼？如果专业的汇编语言专业读者都觉得作者在扯淡的话？这本书更让我肯定了一点：哲学家就是一群没用的不说人话的东西。

  我刚从台湾回来，带的就是这本书。感觉这本书的信息看似很多，其实不实用，基本的一些地图啊，乘车方法啊什么都没有，很是不好用的说。而且实用信息不实很多。

  不做推荐，写的太糙了。

• 应该是自由主义者才对啊！
