Bivar Book Club - The Moon and Sixpence

BIVAR BOOK CLUB discussion on Tuesday 27 February at 19h30

Giulia and Bartholomew are inviting you to come and share your thoughts about

THE MOON AND SIXPENCE
by W. Somerset Maugham


The Moon and Sixpence follows the life of a bourgeois city gent who abandons his home, wife, and children to devote himself to painting. In a tiny studio in Paris, he fills canvas after canvas, refusing to sell or even exhibit his work. Beset by poverty, sickness, and his own intransigent, unscrupulous nature, he drifts to Tahiti, where, even after being blinded by leprosy, he produces some of his most extraordinary works of art. 

Inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin, The Moon and Sixpence is an unforgettable study of a man possessed by the need to create—regardless of the cost to himself and to others.
