The Moon and Sixpence
reviewed on + 52 more book reviews


Beautiful novel about the inner possessions of an artist and all outer possessions are dismissed. Charles Strickland has the drive to paint and become better. He doesn't paint to make money or for the fame. Its the possession deep inside of him that drives him to paint and leave everything else behind. Maugham digs to find this possession.
