Maugham spent the winter months of 1919-20 travelling 1500 miles up the Yangtze River. Always more interested in people than places, he gave full rein to a sensitive and philosophical nature. On a Chinese Screen is the refined accumulation of the countless scraps of paper on which he had taken notes.

读的是从vassar借来的初版书,tangerine色的硬壳莫名有感觉,可惜太忙了没读完就还回去了。之前与旧书市场上的一本擦肩而过,以后一定要收一本。

Très 好看了8! 毛姆真的是一个观察细腻有情怀的老外呢~ 像是在读中国的精致小品文! 不过讽刺的时候感觉跟鲁迅有的一比拼。很多文章都值得细细品味 ! ! 优质
