Based on the life of Paul Gauguin; The Moon and Sixpence is W. Somerset Maughamrsquo;s ode to the powerful forces behind creative genius.Charles Strickland is a staid banker; a man of wealth and privilege. He is also a man possessed of an unquenchable desire to create art. As Strickland pursues his artistic vision; he leaves London for Paris and Tahiti; and in his quest makes sacrifices that leaves the lives of those closest to him in tatters. Through Maughamrsquo;s sympathetic eye Stricklandrsquo;s tortured and cruel soul becomes a symbol of the blessing and the curse of transcendent artistic genius; and the cost in humans lives it sometimes demands.
