The Moon and Sixpence by W. Somerset Maugham
4.0

One of these tricky books where author creates the most living person ever and then make him dead.
Don't worry, that's not a spoiler: the story started from the fact Charles Strickland will die in the end.

Maugham was able to create a dense narrative, managing to tell not only about the complex nature of a great man, but also about art, love and life.

"The Moon and Sixpence" is so real that Maugham doesn't have to break the fourth wall: he speaks to you in a cosy, warm room with three walls only.
It doesn't matter if you like or hate Charles Strickland – you'll definitely feel the charm of how Maugham shares his story about him.
