内容简介
Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.

Stunningly rejacketed as part of a major reinvigoration of this neglected 20th century master

伊索寓言中有一篇兔子与猎狗的故事。猎狗追赶一只兔子，追了很久也没有抓住它。猎人责备猎狗连一只兔子也追不上，猎狗却说：“我是为了一顿饭而奔跑，兔子却是为了逃命。我又怎么可能追得上它呢？”
后来读《月亮与六便士》，思特里克兰德抛家弃子去了巴黎之后，对来寻他的人说：“我必须画画儿。一个人要是掉进了水里，他游泳游得好不好是无关紧要的，反正他得挣扎出去。要不就得淹死。”
为了生命而做的事。这不是一种主动选择，而是一种身不由己。
满地都是六便士，他却抬头看见了月亮。他不理睬六便士，却伸手追寻触碰月光。
画画是思特里克兰德的月亮。他为此于不惑之年抛弃了自己已经获得的一切：工作、财富、名誉、地位、妻子儿女。我并不打算赞扬他的勇气，却也难以谴责他的铁石心肠和不负责任。因为于他而言，画画就像是命运，是明知道却也逃不掉，还要主动去追求，不断挣扎于其中的可怕的噩运。事实上，这本书若只是写了这样一个背井离乡的落魄画家，是不会给我如此的冲击的。思特里克兰德身上所令人痛恨却又无法不钦佩的一点就是，他活着就只有画画。他不在意道德的谴责，不介意生活的困窘，他不需要爱情，甚至于在孤岛之上满身脓疮双目失明也在所不惜。
“我好像感觉到一种猛烈的力量正在他的身体里面奋力挣扎，我觉得这种力量非常强大、压倒一切，仿佛违拗这他自己的意志，并把它紧紧抓在手中。他似乎真的叫魔鬼附体了。”
或许这就是真正的理想。
上了大学之后常常有人问我以后要做什么。我总是说还不知道，事实上我也的确是还不确定，我脑海中的关于未来的影子只属于我自己，我不想也羞于与他人分享。我度过了顺风顺水的18年，每一个转折点都平缓而相对完满。我有足够的信心，或者说是足够的顺应现实的勇气，去面对未来那个关于求生之术的终结局。我是埋头于六便士们的庸俗一群，但并不感觉悲哀。这个世界上并不是所有人都需要惊天动地的成就，并不是所有人都能够像故事的主人公那样执着而痛苦地寻求自己的生命。
读完这本小说，我感动于那个不顾一切的疯子，同情、钦佩而又满心羡慕。但我终究是个现实又俗气的人，安安全全平平淡淡的生活怕是更加适合我。我也知道这样的生活更使我幸福。
向日葵该嫁给阳光还是浇花的少年？还是让向日葵自己决定吧。
作者简介
William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at King's School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas' Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writer's Notebook.
In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965
