The book tells the story of Charles Strickland, a successful banker who suddenly decides to leave everything and become an artist.

The novel "The Moon and Sixpence" explores the concepts of art, passion and sacrifice through the prism of the inner struggles of an artist who opposes society's conformist stereotypes. This is a fascinating masterpiece that makes you think about the price of creativity and the way to your own "moon and sixpence".
