  Based on original research from Peru to the South Seas, this biography of Paul Gauguin challenges the view of him given in the novel The Moon and Sixpence by Somerset Maugham - that he threw up a successful career in business and abandoned his family to become a painter on a far away tropical island. Other titles by the author include a biography of Van Gogh - The Love of Many Things and Mary Renault .
