Chapter 41-50

     Once Strickland visited the narrator. He told him the truth about Blanche and about their life. Later, he agreed to show his pictures. The author was bitterly disappointed by his works. 

    The developments of the book transfer us to Tahiti. The author hadn’t seen Strickland for 15 years and it was nine since he died. There the narrator met Captain Nichols, he also knew Strickland. They tried to earn some money for their living together and then he told the story how Strickland moved to Tahiti. 

    Another person who told some facts about Strickland was Cohen, the trader. Strickland had no money and he suggested him a work. A year later Strickland brought him a picture with the image of the plantation. The trader took the picture into an attic. He couldn’t even imagine that Strickland was a genius.
