'Magnificent.'

The stunning masterpiece from an oft neglected 20th century master.
Charles Strickland, a conventional stockbroker, abandons his wife and children for Paris and Tahiti, to live his life as a painter. Whilst his betrayal of family, duty and honour gives him the freedom to achieve greatness, his decision leads to an obsession which carries severe implications.
Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is at once a satiric caricature of Edwardian conventions and a vivid portrayal of the mentality of a genius.
'From an era that produced George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells and John Galsworthy, Maugham is the great survivor.'
The Economist
'I picked it up and couldn't put it down.'
