Description:
The Moon and Sixpence by William Somerset Maugham is a captivating tale of artistic obsession, rebellion, and the pursuit of an unconventional life. Inspired by the life of French artist Paul Gauguin, the novel follows Charles Strickland, a seemingly ordinary London stockbroker, who abandons his family and career to pursue his passion for painting.
Told through the eyes of an unnamed narrator, the story spans continents—from England to Paris, and eventually to the exotic islands of Tahiti—capturing Strickland’s uncompromising dedication to his art and the profound impact of his actions on those around him.
This illustrated edition enriches Maugham's evocative prose with striking visuals, bringing to life the vivid landscapes and emotions of the narrative. A timeless exploration of the tension between artistic genius and human relationships, The Moon and Sixpence is a masterpiece that continues to inspire and provoke readers.
