"The Moon and Six Pence" is an amazing story of an artist who gave up everything for his dream.
His passion is freedom.
His life is creativity.
His paradise is an exotic island of Polynesia.
A his past is just a sketch for his greatest work, in which the sublime and the earthly, “moon” and “sixpence” merged.
"The Patterned Veil" is a love story full of tragedy, unfolding in a small town in China, where a young English bacteriologist and his wife come to fight the cholera epidemic. The book formed the basis of the Hollywood film "The Painted Veil", in which the main roles were played by the magnificent Naomi Watts and Edward Norton.
