Shackles of Life
About This Novel
Maugham is one of the most famous and important modern and contemporary writers in Britain. His literary achievements are mainly reflected in the field of novels. Maugham wrote many works, and "The Shackles of Life" is one of his best works. It was published in 1915 and is his second novel. The novel tells the story of the protagonist Philip's thirty-year life experience in family, school and society since his childhood. It reflects his confusion, frustration, pain, disappointment and exploration in the process of growing up, as well as the physical defects, religious and erotic constraints he suffered, as well as the protagonist's journey of finally getting rid of these shackles. Compared with Maugham's personal experience, this work is obviously quite autobiographical, and it seems that we can see the author's early misfortune. As a result, novels appear more solid, and literary creations extracted from the mineral resources of life will undoubtedly appear more realistic and artistically appealing.
