Journal Entry 1 by Tarya from Tammela, Kanta-Häme / Egentliga Tavastland Finland on Monday, October 20, 2014
'It was the work of a man who knew things which it was unholy for men to know... it was beautiful and obscene'
Based on the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is the story of Charles Strickland, a London stockbroker who suddenly abandons his wife and family to become a painter.
At once a portrayal of the mentality of genius and a harsh and disturbing study of a man possessed by demonic forces, The Moon and Sixpence is a brillaint affirmation of Maugham's power as a novelist.
First published in 1919
Pan Books 1974

Got the book from Flower78 in the meeting. Thank you Tarya!
I've been looking forward to reading some Somerset Maugham for a while now, but never really got to it. Thanks for this book, it looks like it's finally time for me to dig into his works!
