书籍简介

《刀锋：精神之旅》

拉里·达雷尔是一位年轻的美国作家，他孜孜不倦地追求真理，踏上了一段意义深远的精神之旅。萨默塞特·毛姆编织了一个引人入胜的故事，其中塑造了令人难忘的人物，包括拉里的未婚妻伊莎贝尔，她在爱情和财富之间左右为难，以及她叔叔埃利奥特·坦普尔顿，一个典型的旅居海外的美国势利小人。

在毛姆这部具雄心的小说中，作者本人也成为了故事的主角，观察着这些人物如何与命运抗争，为这部对人生深层问题的探索增添了新的层次。

The Razor’s Edge: A Spiritual Odyssey

Larry Darrell, a young American driven by a relentless quest for the absolute, embarks on a profound spiritual journey. Somerset Maugham weaves a compelling narrative, populated by unforgettable characters, including Larry’s fiancée Isabel, torn between love and fortune, and her uncle, Elliot Templeton, the quintessential American snob living abroad.

In Maugham’s most ambitious novel, the author himself becomes a presence, observing the characters as they grapple with their destinies, adding another layer to this exploration of life’s deepest questions.

作者简介

W·萨默塞特·毛姆

威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆生于1874年，十岁前一直生活在巴黎。他曾就读于坎特伯雷国王学校和海德堡大学。他曾在圣托马斯医院待过一段时间，并萌生了行医的想法，但1897年出版的处女作《兰贝斯的丽莎》的成功使他投身于文学。他的一部杰作《人性的枷锁》于1915年问世，1919年出版的《月亮与六便士》则确立了他作为小说家的声誉。与此同时，他作为成功的剧作家和短篇小说家的声誉也随着多部广受好评的戏剧作品的上演而不断巩固，1921年出版了《一片叶子的颤抖》（副标题为《南海群岛的小故事》），之后又出版了七部小说集。他的其他作品包括游记、散文、评论以及自传《总结》和《作家笔记》。1927年，萨默塞特·毛姆定居法国南部，并一直居住至1965年去世。

W. Somerset Maugham

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 letters. 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 short story writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of The Trembling of a Leaf, subtitled Little Stories of the South Sea Islands, in 1921, which was followed by seven more 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.
