the moon and sixpence william somerset maugham

Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications. Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.

Larry Darrell is a young American in search of the absolute. The progress of this spiritual odyssey involves him with some of Maugham''s most brillant characters - his fiancee Isabel, whose choice between love and wealth have lifelong repercussions, and Elliot Templeton, her uncle, a classic expatriate American snob. The most ambitious of Maugham''s novels, this is also one in which Maugham himself plays a considerable part as he wanders in and out of the story, to observe his characters struggling with their fates.

Though W. Somerset Maugham was also famous for his novels and plays, it has been argued that in the short story he reached the pinnacle of his art and it was his true métier. These expertly told tales, with their addictive plot twists and vividly drawn characters, are both galvanizing as literature and wonderfully entertaining. In the adventures of his alter ego Ashenden, a writer who (like Maugham himself) turned secret agent in World War I, as well as in stories set in such far-flung locales as South Pacific islands and colonial outposts in Southeast Asia, Maugham brings his characters vividly to life, and their humanity is more convincing for the author''s merciless exposure of their flaws and failures. Whether the chasms of misunderstanding he plumbs are those between colonizers and natives, between a missionary and a prostitute, or between a poetry-writing woman and her uncomprehending husband, Maugham brilliantly displays his irony, his wit, and his genius in the art of storytelling.

When war broke out in 1914, Somerset Maugham was dispatched by the British Secret Service to Switzerland under the guise of completing a play. Multilingual, knowledgeable about many European countries and a celebrated writer, Maugham had the perfect cover, and the assignment appealed to his love of romance, and of the ridiculous. The stories collected in Ashenden are rooted in Maugham''s own experiences as an agent, reflecting the ruthlessness and brutality of espionage, its intrigue and treachery, as well as its absurdity.

The third volume of Somerset Maugham''s Collected Short Stories, introduced by the author, contains the celebrated series about Ashenden, a secret service agent in World War I. Based on Maugham''s own experiences with the British Intelligence service in Switzerland, the stories are vignettes in which he dramatises both the romance and absurdity of espionage as well as its ruthlessness and brutality. Accountable only to ''R'', Ashenden travels all over the Continent on assignments which entangle him with such characters as the traitor Grantley Caypor, the passionate Guilia Lazzari, and the sinister ''hairless Mexican''.

Román vyšel poprvé v roce 1930 a čtenáři v postavě spisovatele Edwarda Driffielda záhy odhalili skutečného romanopisce Thomase Hardyho. Děj se odehrává od devadesátých let 19. století do konce dvacátých let století 20., kdy je vypravěč, rovněž spisovatel William Ashenden, požádán svým kolegou Alroyem Kearem o pomoc se sepsáním životopisu nedávno zesnulého Driffielda. Maugham byl vynikajícím pozorovatelem a dokonale poznal prostředí umělců a vůbec lidí z vyšších vrstev. Ve svém románu vykresluje s precizností a vtipem nejen události a společenské prostředí, ale především konkrétní lidské charaktery. Mistrně vylíčil zejména Driffieldovu první manželku Rosie, která je centrální postavou románu. Rosie je zosobněním nespoutané, bezprostřední a živelné ženskosti, která vybočuje z konvenčních společenských norem a je často kvůli své uvolněné morálce, prostotě a „obyčejnosti“ trnem v oku lidí z vyšší společnosti. Román, napsaný před necelým stoletím, je i pro dnešního čtenáře poutavý díky mistrovskému vypravěčství a dokonale propracované psychologii postav. Česky byl titul publikován poprvé v roce 1975, nyní vychází v revidovaném vydání již jako třetí svazek z Maughamovy tvorby v edici Pozdní sběr.

Far Eastern Tales is a collection of short stories born of Maugham''s experiences in Malaya, Singapore and other outposts of the former British Empire. Whether portraying a ship-borne flight from a lover''s curse, murder in the jungle, or a marriage shattered by a past indiscretion, they all reveal Maugham at his best - sometimes caustic, sometimes gently comic, but always the shrewd and human judge of character and soul.

Maugham spent the winter months of 1919 travelling fifteen hundred miles up the Yangtze river. Always more interested in people than places, he noted down acute and finely crafted sketches of those he met on countless scraps of paper. In the resulting collection we encounter Western missionaries, army officers and company managers who are culturally out of their depth in the immensity of the Chinese civilisation. Maugham keenly observes, and gently ridicules, their dogged and oblivious persistence with the life they know.

Román klasika anglické literatury z roku 1919 byl inspirován životem geniálního francouzského malíře Paula Gauguina. Jeho osud se odráží v osudech hlavního hrdiny románu Charlese Stricklanda, burzovního makléře, který ve čtyřiceti letech zdánlivě bez příčiny odchází od své ženy a dětí. Po radikální změně prostředí a nástupu na nejistou malířskou dráhu se ocitá v bídě a často na pokraji smrti. ­Maugham s naturalistickou přesností a s jedinečným vypravěčským mistrovstvím líčí, jak Strickland ničí nejen sebe, ale i své blízké okolí neurvalým chováním, nezájmem a tyranskou arogancí. Přestože se nestaví na jeho stranu, omlouvá jeho projevy uměleckou genialitou, kterou v jeho době málokdo rozpoznal. Když se vypravěč po válce dostane na Tahiti, poslední Stricklandovu štaci, setkává se s poněkud mírnějším a usedlejším Stricklandovým obrazem. Malíř našel místo, kde mohl tvořit, ženu, která se o něj postarala i v jeho poslední chvíli, a na sklonku života se přiblížil tolik kýžené dokonalosti, po níž celý život prahl a jež se mu stala jediným životním cílem. Román líčí složité putování umělce hledajícího dokonalou krásu, kvůli níž je ochoten jít za hranice morálky, kvůli níž vsadí bez váhání vše, aby alespoň na okamžik nalezl to, co ho celý život zneklidňovalo a nutilo hledat.

Ústředními postavami románu, jehož děj se odehrává v britské koloniální Číně, jsou mladí manželé zcela odlišných charakterů - oddaně milující introvertní muž, povoláním lékařem, a jeho žena, dívka z anglické lepší rodiny, která do manželství vstoupila bez lásky, zato se snahou změnit prostředí a své společenské postavení. V důsledku náhodně odhalené manželčiny nevěry čelí nesourodý manželský pár krizi a žena je donucena odjet s manželem do čínského vnitrozemí, kde propukla epidemie cholery. Tíživé životní podmínky boje s epidemií a všudypřítomnost smrti podstatně ovlivní jejich životy a vzájemný vztah… Maugham je znalcem lidských charakterů a mistrem psychologie postav. Pod poutavým dějem a dramatickou zápletkou se tak před čtenářovým zrakem odehrává ještě něco jiného, působivějšího: vnitřní proměna povrchní mladé ženy v osobnost se smyslem pro skutečné hodnoty a pochopení druhých.

These essays on Post-Keynesian economics were written expressly for a volume to honour the life and work of Alfred Eichner. The original countributions - that critically examine and extend ideas in Eichner''s "The Macrodynamics of Advanced Market Economies" are organized in seven sections that correspond to areas of economics in which Eichner made a significant contribution. Part 1 deals with the megacorp, a theory of firm pricing and investment that was one of Eichner''s most important contributions. Issues of productivity and technical change, that lie at the center of Eichner''s macrodynamic model, are the focus of part 1 and parts 3 and 4 elaborate on Eichner''s work on growth and money and yield insights into the theoretical disagreements among the Post-Keynesians themselves. Part 5 presents a number of examples of non-neo-classical model building. Part 6 opens with a critique of the "new economic history" that leads to other essays on thorny methodological issues confronting Post-Keynesians. Part 7 gives a European perspective on North American Post-Keynesian economics. The essays reveal the relationships between Eichner''s work and Institutionalist and Marxian economics. At the same time, the book raises current theoretical conflicts among these groups as well as among Post-Keynesians themselves. This book ... Unknown localization key: "more"
