LibriVox recording of The Moon and the Sixpence, by W. Somerset Maugham. Read by Termin Dyan.
This Maugham novel is based on the life of the painter Paul Gauguin. The story is told by the narrator as he gradually comes to know the main character Charles Strickland, a middle aged stock broker. We follow Strickland from the point where he abruptly abandons his wife and children to become an artist, through his life in Paris and Marseille to Tahiti, where he eventually dies of leprosy. (Summary by Andy Minter)

Simply Wonderful
This book was a joy to listen to. I read it in college years ago and I continue to enjoy it. The narrator does a terrific job in presenting this story and I found myself beginning to think of him as Maugham. He really does an outstanding job on this classic.

Moon and Sixpence
An excellent, well paced reading of a brilliant book that asks hard questions: What do you make of a completely self absorbed genius? Was his work worth more than the "small" lives he ruined? The final line is one of the best conceived in English literature.
Thoroughly recommended! Thank you, Andy.

Excellent!
I didn't know much about Gauguin - and I'm not sure how close this story comes to reality - but it was very interesting and enjoyable to listen to. The reader (Termin Dyan) is Andy Minter - one of Librivox's best. Andy's other recordings can be found here

One of the best
This was my first real exposure to Somerset Maugham. The reader is absolutely right for the material: the whole thing was a joy. It would be a fine old world if all Librivox readers were anywhere near this good...
