A middle-aged stockbroker leaves his family to become an artist in this novel inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin from "a notable and original writer" (
The New York Times).
From the author of
The Razor's Edge and
Of Human Bondage,
The Moon and Sixpence tells the story of Charles Strickland, who suddenly deserts his wife and children in order to devote his life to painting. Unpleasant in manner yet strangely charismatic, he makes his way to Paris, Marseilles, and finally Tahiti, producing works of genius that few in his lifetime appreciate-while those he left behind speculate about what drove him to abandon them so abruptly.
"A notable and original writer... Mr. Maugham digresses whenever he happens to feel like it, and his digressions never cause him to lose the reader's attention, but instead rather strengthen his hold on it. His comments are sometimes brilliant, always shrewd-often disconcertingly so. He has a way of getting beneath the surface." -
