About This Novel
The protagonist Charles in "The Moon and Sixpence" is an ordinary office worker. He is middle-aged, married, has a son, and earns a living in a down-to-earth manner. Suddenly one day, he responds to the call of his heart, leaves a note that dinner is ready, abandons everything and runs away from home. Determined to pursue his passion for painting, he went to Tahiti in the South Pacific to live with the indigenous people, despite poverty and illness, and never looked back. The wife said: Dream? His age will not last long, after all, he is forty years old, and he will be back with me soon. A friend asked him: Don't you think you have any responsibilities? Charles bravely became the unreasonable lunatic and obsessive fool in the eyes of others. Many people say that he is a fool, a waste of life, and even irresponsible, but only he knows his inner passion and the ideal he pursues. In real life, how many people just timidly look up at the moon, and then continue to lower their heads to chase the sixpence they depend on for food and clothing?

Alas, I feel like no matter what foreign books they are, they always feel very confusing, probably because of the long names.
