A Remote Corner (Written by Somerset Maugham)

In a remote corner, wandering around the world, a doctor observes the world from the perspective of a bystander, a captain plays the world from the perspective of a player, and teenagers, full of idealistic enthusiasm, yearn for Utopia, pursue the ivory tower, and examine human nature. Thoughts about life are happening everywhere around us. I feel like I am an outsider in the world like Dr. Sanders. The joys and sorrows of people are not the same. I don't think they are noisy, nor do they take pleasure in human nature like Dr. Sanders. All my enthusiasm, kindness , justice, all seem to come from their own principles, longing for the unity of the world, but also unable to change. We all love fantasy, everything in the world is just an illusion, each of us is an illusion when God is schizophrenic, we project our ideals onto others, And when others do not meet expectations, we must understand that what we want is just a fantasy in our ideals, and what we need to do is to turn our ideals into reality, instead of indulging in fantasies. Tragedies of life are staged everywhere in remote corners, and tragedy itself is a comedy. "Wise people all believe in the same religion. What is it? They never say." "Don't blame his death on you. It has nothing to do with you. If I'm not wrong, he committed suicide because he discovered that his beloved goddess, the goddess with all the beautiful qualities and virtues, was just an ordinary person. He couldn't stand this fact. This was actually his own madness, and this is also the biggest tragedy of idealists. They do not treat others objectively. And didn't God say, 'Forgive them, they don't know what they are doing.'" "This may displease you, but the gap between a man's beliefs and his actions is one of the most interesting and spectacular sights that life has to offer us." "You really want to know? I believe in nothing but myself and my past experiences. This world is made up of me, my thoughts, and my feelings. Everything else is an illusion. Life is a dream. In this dream, everything in front of me is created by me. Every cognizable thing, every object of experience, is in my mind If the aura leaves my mind, it will disappear. In this world, it is impossible and unnecessary to assume that anything is separate from me. Life is a coherent and continuous dream. When I stop dreaming, this beautiful, painful, sad and incredibly complicated world will no longer exist." "I'm not going to let you fool me like that. Life is useless if it doesn't satisfy my need to be a part of it. It's a dull, stupid show, and it's just a waste of time to sit back and watch." "By giving up the things that make life shine? Just like you. I hope that life will be fair, brave and honest. I hope that everyone will be a gentleman and everything will end well. Such a request is not too much, right?" "Have you ever heard that laughter is the only grace given to man alone and not shared by the beasts?" "God may destroy me, but I am still invincible." Thinking of this, he sighed, because no matter what happens in the future, even the most luxurious dreams will come true, and in the end, they will all be wiped out, leaving only illusions.

There are beautiful descriptions of the environment, but not much. The doctor is a bystander, with the wisdom of a middle-aged Chinese, a fondness for the captain, the courage to face difficulties, superb skills, informality, fear of his wife, and evil, but no description.

If a book makes people lose track of time while reading it, what a success it would be! When she is so wonderful that people can't bear to leave, they stay for a while, and then stay for a while, like attending a feast and they can't stop. In the end, I couldn't bear to finish reading it right away, leaving a little bit to accompany me tomorrow.

Just like the people I meet in life, everyone has their own personality. Especially the young man who bears the crime resonates with me very much. I have also been misunderstood at times, and I really hope he can have a good ending. I can't wait to see what happens to them on the island!

This is a work worth reading again and again. Different people will have different perceptions and resonances at different times. Just the right point is reached, and each story has blank spaces for readers to figure out. The answer is open-ended: What do you believe? What is the truth? Human nature is like the deep sea.

What a fascinating story, perhaps, the remote corners may not be remote after all?

The whole book is depressing to read. The book is always filled with an atmosphere of upward goodness, beauty, and the highest spiritual realm in the world, which gives people a kind of spiritual comfort.

The writing is very delicate, whether it is the surrounding environment or the emotions of the characters, the details of the appearance are described vividly, and it is also full of philosophical sentences. It is very easy to read, and it is narrated step by step.

Maugham's portrayal of the characters is realistic and delicate, and the plot may seem ordinary, but it is always unexpected. Love this book!

Everyone has their own thoughts and stories

I don't know if Blake was pushed overboard by the captain.

Very good, worth watching

Rich content, I like this book

This book is superb

Very interesting book

Delicate psychological description of characters

Adventure, excellent description of human nature

This book is so beautiful

After reading it, I'm still not satisfied

When the cloak of civilization is stripped away, are we more noble thinkers or more dangerous beasts?

The content is objective, original and engaging. This book is very interesting from the beginning, and it can be said to be good spiritual food.

Smooth and smooth, AI reading is also very good

The details of the characters and scenes are described very well, I like it very much

The story is told wonderfully and the characters have different personalities. Each protagonist is clearly aware of his inner needs and devotes his whole life to pursuing his own dreams.

I like the lifelike descriptions of various characters in this book. I also like the descriptions of religion and human nature. There are thousands of good-looking characters, but very few interesting souls.
