5.0 out of 5 stars
A fascinating tale about human nature,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Moon & Sixpence (Hardcover)
The work of British author Somerset Maugham (1874-1965), this is a supremely interesting book which explores the intricacies of the human mind through the story of man's sudden and improbable obsession with art. Based on the life of post-impressionist painter Paul Gauguin and set in locations as diverse as seedier sections of Paris and the tropical splendor of Tahiti, it deals with the inexplicable urge which seemingly at random strikes some of us and leads them to leave everything and everyone they know in order to dedicate their lives to a purpose, be it religion, the love of another, art or infinite other things, which those around them little understand and often disdain. Maugham's masterfully crafted prose is an added treat. This is a must-read which will spiritually enrich anyone who peruses it.
