The narrative follows Charles Strickland, an English stockbroker who forsakes his family to pursue a painting career in Paris, inspired by the life of Paul Gauguin. Told from a first-person perspective, the episodic story begins as Strickland departs for his new life, contrasting his former affluence with the hardships of poverty, illness, and hunger. The narrator, acquainted with Strickland through literary gatherings, provides insight into the artist's relentless pursuit of creativity despite the sacrifices he makes.
