About This Novel

This book is a classic literary masterpiece with a high literary status. The novel uses the life of French Impressionist painter Paul as the material. It describes Strickland, an originally ordinary securities broker. From beginning to end, it revolves around the theme of Strickland's strange life and explores what he is pursuing. The story unfolds through the description of such a geek who is obsessed with art and does not understand the world, as well as the characters such as Stroeve, Blanche, and Etta who closely surround him. By narrating this development process, the author deeply explores the contradictions and interactions between life and art, and explores thought-provoking issues such as the relationship between personality and genius, and the contradiction between artists and society.
