The Moon and Sixpence, originally published in 1919, is based on the life of the artist Paul Gauguin. The story is told in episodic form by the first-person narrator as a series of glimpses into the life of the central character, Charles Strickland, a middle-aged English stockbroker who abandons his wife and children to pursue painting.
