William Somerset Maugham (25 January 1874 – 16 December 1965) was an English writer, known for his plays, novels and short stories.
Born in Paris, where he spent his first ten years, Maugham was schooled in England and went to a German university. He became a medical student in London and qualified as a physician in 1897. He never practiced medicine, and became a full-time writer.
His first novel, Liza of Lambeth (1897), a study of life in the slums, attracted attention, but it was as a playwright that he first achieved national celebrity.
Maugham’s novels after Liza of Lambeth include Of Human Bondage (1915), The Moon and Sixpence (1919), The Painted Veil (1925), Cakes and Ale (1930) and The Razor’s Edge (1944). His short stories were published in collections such as The Casuarina Tree (1926) and The Mixture as Before (1940); many of them have been adapted for radio, cinema and television. His great popularity and prodigious sales provoked adverse reactions from highbrow critics, many of whom sought to belittle him as merely competent.
The Moon and Sixpence is a novel by Somerset Maugham, first published on 15 April 1919. It is told in episodic form by a first-person narrator providing a series of glimpses into the mind and soul of the central character, Charles Strickland, a middle-aged English stockbroker, who abandons his wife and children abruptly to pursue his desire to become an artist. The story is, in part, based on the life of the painter Paul Gauguin.
威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆（William Somerset Maugham，1874年1月25日—1965年12月16日），英国小说家、剧作家。代表作有戏剧《圈子》，长篇小说《人生的枷锁》《月亮和六便士》《刀锋》，短篇小说集《叶的震颤》《阿金》等。
《月亮和六便士》是英国小说家威廉·萨默赛特·毛姆创作的长篇小说，首次出版于1919年。
该小说以法国画家保罗·高更的真实经历为原型，讲述了证券经纪人思特里克兰德人到中年，却突然开始追求内心隐秘的绘画梦想，抛妻别子、远走他乡的故事。最终，在遥远的南太平洋小岛上，思特里克兰德陷入贫病交加的窘境，但他始终认定自己必须画画，就像溺水的人必须挣扎。该小说拥有较强的现实主义色彩及风格，以真实的空间位置为基点，是一部描写人性与西方资本主义现代文明矛盾冲突的小说。作者采用思特里克兰德的一生叙述，表达了艺术家为了逃避社会、追求艺术这一主题，反映了社会对于人性的扼杀。在小说中，毛姆采用了第一人称的叙述手法，借“我”之口叙述整个故事，仿佛是担任医生的毛姆在冷静地观察病人、客观地描述情况，读来亲切朴实。该小说的名字，月亮代表高高在上的理想，六便士则是英镑里很小的一个货币单位，可以解读为深陷泥沼中的现实琐碎。

《呼啸山庄》英文版Wuthering Heights在竹和松出版社出版了
Emily Jane Brontë (30 July 1818 – 19 December 1848) was an English writer best known for her 1847 novel Wuthering Heights. She also co-authored a book of poetry with her sisters Charlotte and Anne entitled Poems by Currer, Ellis, and Acton Bell.
Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights was first published in London by Thomas Cautley Newby, shortly after the publication and immediate success in October 1847 of Charlotte Brontë’s Jane Eyre. Thomas Newby, who had been very slow to deal with Emily and Anne, finally saw the advantage of using the family connection, and published Wuthering Heights in December 1847.
The novel, a Gothic story of doomed love, hate, revenge and the supernatural, deals with the relationships of various couples in and around the farmhouse of the title.
Despite mixed reviews at the time, Wuthering Heights is now widely regarded as one of the greatest novels in English literature. It is controversial for its depictions of psychological and physical abuse (including domestic violence) and its challenge to the moral, religious, and class systems of the Victorian era.
《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特创作的长篇小说，首次出版于1847年，是19世纪英国文学的代表作之一。
该书描写的吉卜赛弃儿希斯克利夫被山庄老主人收养后，因不堪受辱和恋爱受挫，外出致富。回来后发现女友凯瑟琳已与地主林顿结婚，继而产生对地主及其子女进行报复的故事。全篇充满了强烈的反压迫、求自由的斗争精神，又始终笼罩着离奇、紧张、浪漫的艺术气氛。作品开始曾被人称作是年轻女作家脱离现实的天真幻想，但结合其所描写地区激烈的阶级斗争和英国当时的社会现象，不久又被评论界给予高度肯定，并受到广大读者的热烈欢迎。 [12]小说以一种“灭亡”性的态度来展现，带有非常强的悲剧意识，不仅仅是人物命运方面的悲剧，还反映了当时社会的悲剧。作品当中的悲剧色彩十分浓厚，也具有非常强的艺术风格，哲学意识浓烈，在整体上极大的展现出美学、哲学以及艺术方面的统一性。
《呼啸山庄》被公认为世界名著，英国作家毛姆甚至把它奉为世界最杰出的十部小说之一，与《战争与和平》并列 。根据这部小说改编拍摄的电影从1939年已多达十多部。
