About This Novel

A broker from the British Stock Exchange already had a stable career, social status, and a happy family, but he became obsessed with painting. He felt like he was "possessed by the devil." He suddenly abandoned his home and went to Paris to pursue his ideal of painting. No one could understand his behavior. After some bizarre encounters, the protagonist finally leaves the civilized world and escapes to the isolated island of Tahiti. His soul finally found peace. Some people think that the prototype of this novel is the French Impressionist painter Gauguin, which adds to its legendary color.
