Somerset Maugham's Classic Novel. the Moon and Sixpence. the Moon and Sixpence (Original English Version)





It's quite rich and has a strong sense of irony.
Ordinary life is the life of most people, but there are always people who want to break through the routine, and those who really have the courage to give up the rules and seek breakthroughs have shining points. This kind of shining point may have real beauty.
There were six pennies all over the floor, but he wanted to catch the moon. He was very philosophical, but also divorced from real life! Very good!
There are always moments in life when you suddenly want to do something unreasonable and unruly. This thing comes from your consciousness and your feelings. It was sudden, but there was no turning back. This work is said to be a novel, but it is better to be said to be a portrayal of consciousness. I can feel its salvation for me.
The moon and sixpence, what would you choose? After reading it, I fell into deep thought. The protagonist in the book can give up sixpence for the moon. In reality, most people have their own moon, but when they move forward, they only care about the sixpence on the ground.
It's hard to evaluate. Anyway, I felt uncomfortable watching it.
After reading three chapters, you will feel something. Maybe you think this may be an internet celebrity book, but this is not true. You may really be able to find a moment of peace in this book in this impetuous era. I read about reality and ideals, as well as life and love in this book
Fascinating, how to choose between the moon and sixpence?
It feels good to be friends with Stroeve, because there will be someone who will help his friend with anything because of his so-called overflowing kindness, but if it is his family, it will feel very tiring if the family does not have overflowing compassion. Strickland is also an extremely refined Lectraist and is ungrateful in most situations. In fact, the "I" in this book is also a person who helps Stroeve semi-unconditionally. Although there is an element of watching a play, if Stroeve is in a bad mood and has any difficulties, "I" always tries his best to alleviate it. I don't understand why this book is recommended as a young adult book, just because the name is good? Many plots in it are sometimes unspeakable blows to teenagers who have not yet formed perfect values. Life is important, ideals are important, but in the process of realizing ideals, you cannot break through morality as a means. I feel that Chapter 57 is really unbearable. The sad and hateful Strickland may be a so-called talented artist in painting, but his morals are indeed low and have no bottom line.
The writing style of this book is very unique, and the text is concise and powerful, making people deeply absorbed in it. I like the protagonist Charles in the book. He is desperate to pursue his dreams. This persistence is admirable. Maugham's writing style is also very good. He depicts the characters vividly and the plot has ups and downs, making people unable to put it down. This book made me think about a lot of questions about life and dreams, and it was very enlightening.
I have the urge to continue reading and want to know what happens next.
Interesting, good-looking, and immersive
