The Moon and Sixpence _ Analysis _ W. Somerset Maugham

It is indisputable that the British painter in "The Moon and Sixpence" is based on the French post-impressionist master Paul Gauguin (1848-1903). Gauguin also worked as an agent before he was determined to engage in painting; Gauguin was also very rough and poor throughout his life; Gauguin finally arrived in Tahiti and was buried on a deserted island. But apart from the general outline of life, Maugham created another character entirely. This novel was written by Maugham after he returned to Europe after traveling through Tahiti. check:https://www.readingandthinking.com/2021/06/book-review-the-moon-and-sixpence-by-w-somerset-maugham.html
