内容简介:

本书由《纯属私事》和《总结》两部分组合加工而成,并非严格意义上的自传。《纯属私事》为首个中文译本,介绍了毛姆在二战期间做间谍的经历。毛姆叔叔的二战故事非常精彩,间谍竟然可以这样当,战时真实的生活状况竟然是这样的!《总结》是毛姆作为一名职业作家对写作风格、文学、艺术、戏剧和哲学的理性思考。毛姆对人性、对人情的精准理解超乎你想象,妙语连珠,警句迭出,让人读之大呼过瘾。

作者简介:

威廉·萨默塞特·毛姆(1874-1965)

出生于法国的英国人,小说家 、散文家、剧作家。

在长寿的一生中,他拿过手术刀,写过畅销小说,当过前线救护车驾驶员,做过英国间谍、二战宣传员。一个放荡不羁的浪子,一个英国社会名流,一个固执的老头子。受过文学评论届的轻视,也获得过欧洲一切殊荣……

这就是毛姆,20世纪版税最高的风云作家。他的一生比他的小说还要精彩!
