Somerset Maugham 1919 International Collectors Library A conventional London stockbroker, Charles Strickland shocks everyone around him when he abandons his settled life to pursue painting with total, almost inhuman determination. As the narrator pieces together Strickland’s path through Europe and the South Pacific, the novel becomes a study of artistic obsession, personal destruction, and the unsettling force of genius. Loosely inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, the book blends sharp social observation with a cool, unsettling portrait of a man who rejects comfort, duty, and affection in service of art. Maugham uses Strickland’s story to explore whether greatness excuses cruelty, and what human costs are paid when someone chooses vision over ordinary morality. Book is in good condition.
