Reader's note

Charles Strickland, a London stockbroker in middle life, suddenly abandons his business career, his wife, and all the ties which hold him to conventional society, to devote himself to painting. After years of struggle in Paris, where he fails completely to achieve recognition, he sets out for Tahiti at the age of forty-seven, when most men have settled comfortably into a groove, and there, while covering with astounding pictures the walls of the hut which he shares with a devoted Polynesian woman, he dies of leprosy. By his own injunction, his companion destroys his work after his death, and only on the discovery of the canvases he had carelessly tossed aside during his years of rewarded self-expression does the world of art realize that it has lost a genius.
