Description

Charles Strickland walks out on a safe life to paint, burning through Europe toward Tahiti and the cost of genius. Gauguin-shadowed obsession. Spoken as when art demands everything ordinary love cannot keep.

Author

W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) wrote Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and a famous shelf of stories from the South Seas and the drawing room. A doctor by training, he observed with a cool, professional eye: desire, failure, and the cost of a vocation. With 35 titles in our catalogue, Maugham remains the English novelist of worldly intelligence — never sentimental, always readable.
