About This Novel
"The Moon and Sixpence" is based on the life of French Impressionist painter Paul Gauguin. It describes the story of Strickland, an originally ordinary London stockbroker, who suddenly became obsessed with art, abandoned his wife and children, gave up what others thought was a prosperous and happy life, and went to Tahiti in the South Pacific, where he wrote his glorious life with a round pen and injected all the value of his life into the gorgeous canvas. The work expresses the contradiction between genius, personality and material civilization, as well as modern marriage and family life. It has a broad perspective on life. It uses a scalpel that smells of disinfectant to sharply dissect the human nature wrapped in skin, mixed with the mocking humor and cruel eyes of the spectators.
