月亮与六便士

毛姆最了不起的作品，已经被“最经典英语文库”第一辑所收集：《人性的枷锁》。写作这本书时，他马上就到40岁，用中国的古话说，就是到了“不惑之年”。《人性的枷锁》发表后，却遭到很多文学评论家的抨击。但是，是真金就不怕火炼。十分有影响力的美国大作家德莱塞先生（其《嘉莉妹妹》已经被收录到“最经典英语文库”第一辑）力排众议，坚持认为，《人性的枷锁》是部好作品，甚至将其与贝多芬的某部交响曲作了比较。从此，这一作品就一直不断地再版起来。

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.
