More about the book

The story follows Charles Strickland, a man who abandons his family to pursue his passion for painting, mirroring the life of artist Paul Gauguin. In Paris, Strickland remains aloof, ignoring the camaraderie of fellow artist Dirk Stroeve. His reckless pursuit of art leads to turmoil as he entangles himself with Blanche, Stroeve's wife, causing heartbreak and chaos among those he leaves behind. The narrative explores themes of obsession, artistic ambition, and the impact of personal choices on relationships.
