Storyline
Loosely inspired by Gauguin's life, the story of Charles Strickland, a middle-aged stockbrocker who abandons his middle-class life, his family, and his duties to start painting, as he has always wanted to do. He is from then on a awful human being, wholly devoted to his ideal: beauty.—Yepok

Short Review
It's rather somber stuff, but faithfully executed by Lewin's literary direction.
