"The Moon and Sixpence" was published in 1919. Inspired by the life of the renowned French artist Paul Gauguin, the story revolves around Charles Strickland, a middle-aged English stockbroker who abandons his family and conventional life to pursue his passion for painting in Paris. The novel explores themes of art, obsession, and the clash between societal expectations and individual desires. Through Strickland's unrelenting pursuit of artistic freedom, "The Moon and Sixpence" delves into the complexity of creative genius and the sacrifices it may entail. Maugham's portrayal of Strickland's unconventional journey is a thought-provoking exploration of the tension between conformity and the pursuit of one's true calling.
