Β
From the author of The Razorβs 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 appreciateβwhile those he left behind speculate about what drove him to abandon them so abruptly.
Β
βA notable and original writerΒ .Β .Β . Mr. Maugham digresses whenever he happens to feel like it, and his digressions never cause him to lose the readerβs attention, but instead rather strengthen his hold on it. His comments are sometimes brilliant, always shrewdβoften disconcertingly so. He has a way of getting beneath the surface.β βThe New York Times
