书籍简介

自信和肉欲，伯莎·莱发现自己被爱德华·克拉多克的激情带走，一个年轻的男人，她从小就知道。她把和他结婚看作是逃离和姨妈平静生活的机会，并体验真爱。但是充满激情和活力的她发现，在她与尽职而明智的爱德华的婚姻中，没有什么能满足她的期望。随着激情的消逝，她发现自己被困在一个没有爱、压抑的婚姻中。《克拉多克夫人》最初出版时遭到出版商的断然拒绝，出版条件是删除某些“令人震惊”的段落。此后三十年全文才得以出版。

Assertive and sensual, Bertha Ley finds herself carries away by a passion for Edward Craddock, a young man she has known since childhood. She sees in marriage to him a chance to escape from the quiet life she leads with her aunt - and to experience true love. But passionate and full of life, she discovers that little in her marriage to the dutiful and sensible Edward meets her expectations. And as passion dies, she finds herself trapped in a loveless, oppressive marriage. Originally rejected by publishers, Mrs. Craddock was first published only on condition that certain "shocking" passages were removed. It was thirty years before the full text could be published.

作者简介

威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆生于1874年，10岁之前一直住在巴黎。他曾在坎特伯雷国王学校和海德堡大学接受教育。他怀着从医的念头在圣托马斯医院待了一段时间，但他的第一部小说《兰贝斯的丽莎》(1897年出版)的成功，使他对文学产生了兴趣。《人类的枷锁》是他的第一部杰作，出版于1915年，随着1919年《月亮六便士》的出版，他作为小说家的声誉得以确立。与此同时，作为一名成功的剧作家和作家，他的名气也随着各种戏剧的广受好评和几部短篇小说集的出版而得到巩固。他的其他作品包括游记、随笔、评论、自传体作品《总结》和《作家笔记》。

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.
