他也自由,也洒脱,也无耻,也自私,也狂妄。这种残缺不堪又生动独特的灵魂实际上永远撩拨着读者的兴致。在毛姆的作品中,似乎总会出现这样一个人。这个人,穷极一生都在追求自己所追求的真理。毛姆最喜欢的主题是“某位值得尊敬的人决定将美德践行到极致”。看看拉里,看看思特里克兰德,或者是菲利浦,无疑都经历过一场追寻。或者是其他的像《寻欢作乐》《面纱》与《偏僻的角落》,总能看到各种主人公追寻的痕迹。这其中,有关于人生真理的追寻,有对于生活的追寻,有对生命意义的追寻,也有单单对于享乐的追寻。 He is also free, free, shameless, selfish, and arrogant. This indestructible and vivid soul will in fact always inspire readers’ interest. There seems to always be such a person in Maugham’s work. This man, after all his life, pursued the truth he sought after. Maugham favorite subject is “a respected person decided to practice the utmost virtues ”. Look at Larry, look at Strickland, or Philips, no doubt have experienced a search. Or other like “fun” “veil” and “remote corner”, always see traces of various heroic pursuit. Among these, the pursuit of the truth of life, the pursuit of life, the pursuit of the meaning of life, but also for pleasure seeking.
