The Shackles of Humanity (selected Collection of Somerset Maugham)
About This Novel
The little boy Philip was born lame, lost his parents at an early age, sensitive and withdrawn, and was raised by his uncle and aunt. During his studies, he was bullied due to his shy nature; young Philip chose to leave his hometown, first to study in Heidelberg, Germany, then to London as an accounting apprentice, then to Paris to study painting, and finally returned to London to study medicine... The genius novelist Somerset Maugham used his unique and vivid writing to vividly express the confusion and frustration in growing up, the desire for the opposite sex, etc. Reality hits us face to face, human nature is subtle and complex, and our moods are secretly ups and downs... We are always asking for the meaning of life, but we will eventually return to ordinary people; the scenery of life that we are diligently searching for may be in truth and freedom.
