William Somerset Maugham

The Moon and Sixpence

An uncompromising and self-destructive deserts his wife, family, business, and civilization for his art. Shedding harsh light on an artist's ego, Maugham reveals the lengths to which one man will go to focus on his art. Written in 1919, this unforgettable story is timeless in its appeal.

    Художник, живописец, поэт или музыкант своим украшением, возвышенным или прекрасным, удовлетворяет эстетическое чувство; но это сродни половому инстинкту и разделяет его варварство:
