The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham 1919 FIRST edition

Description: "The Moon and Sixpence" by W. Somerset Maugham is a captivating novel inspired by the life of the renowned French Post-Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin. In this literary work, Maugham crafts a compelling narrative around the enigmatic character of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged Englishman who abruptly abandons his conventional life and family to pursue his artistic passion. The novel explores Strickland's relentless quest for creative authenticity, which takes him from London to the vibrant art scene of Paris and eventually to the exotic landscapes of Tahiti. Maugham masterfully delves into the complexities of artistic genius, the tension between societal expectations and individual desires, and the profound sacrifices made in the name of artistic expression. This novel is a thought-provoking exploration of the artist's relentless pursuit of their inner vision, often at the expense of conventional morality and social norms.
