The Moon and Sixpence
Description
Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon&Sixpence is an intricate exploration of the natureof genius and the singlemindedness it takes.Charles Strickland, a nondescript stockbroker, suddenly leaves his wife and children in search of artistic greatness. As he embarks on a journey that takes him from Paris to Tahiti, Strickland experiences periods of intensive work, shocking callousness, and astonishing indolence.In this stunning portrait of obsession and self-centredness, Maugham asks two fundamental questions: what defines brilliance? And can the price paid by the artist ever be worth it?
