"The Moon and Sixpence" follows Charles Strickland, a discontent London stockbroker who abandons his conventional life to pursue his passion for painting. Inspired by Paul Gauguin, Strickland's obsessive quest for artistic expression leads him to Paris and ultimately to Tahiti, where he seeks authenticity and freedom. His journey is turbulent, marked by personal sacrifice and a single-minded devotion to art, which alienates him from his family and society. The novel explores themes of creativity, the conflict between civilization and raw nature, and the essence of true passion, highlighting the profound cost of following one's dreams.
