Shackles of Life

After watching it for so long, I finally finished it. It is really a great book to enjoy and enjoy the ocean of literature. The protagonist Philip is suitable for each of us. If young people can read this book calmly, they can really avoid many detours. As someone who was born in a rural area, I sympathize with Philip's low self-esteem and sensitivity when he was a child because of his poor feet and the loss of his parents at an early age. It's just that Philip has a middle-class inheritance and his experience is richer. Through Philip, I saw that I was once young and frivolous, penniless and impoverished, and arrogant. Just like Philip, who swore not to do his father's profession as a doctor since he was a child, but finally became a doctor after tossing and turning. In order to resist his uncle, he could become a priest if he could get a scholarship to go to Oxford University. However, his rebellion prevented him from going to university. After studying art for two years, he finally thought that not everyone could give up. Working as an intern accountant for a year was not the life he wanted. The inheritance was all squandered by his lust, and he had to interrupt his studies. Fortunately, Philip, a young man who turned thirty, did not act foolishly in the end. Sally, a nineteen-year-old girl, was so beautiful and beautiful, and he lived up to it, just as it is written at the end of the article that he did not give up on his ideals. But true happiness is to have a place where the soul rests, that is home. Traveling around the world also has a way back, and wild ghosts also have a ruined temple. Therefore, Philip is the author himself, Mao Mu, and he is happy in the end. The inspiration and literary value of this book are unparalleled. Every one of us, every young person, repeats it all the time. Therefore, I also recommend young people to watch it, but I am also a young person. Young people who can change their behavior after watching it will never appear in ten thousand years. But at least if you lose too little of your youth, it will be of great benefit to see it.

This book is very good! Maugham's writing style is real and delicate, making people feel that the protagonist's story is happening around them. I particularly liked the plot of Philip studying painting in Paris, and I felt like I was exploring the path of art with him. Moreover, this book seems to have some shadow of Maugham himself, which makes me understand his thoughts better. All in all, "The Shackles of Life" is well worth reading!

Young people can read more and avoid detours. Philip encountered many confusions and entanglements in his growth history, which you and I have encountered. They can really serve as a good reference for their own life choices.

The shortcoming is that it is too kind and selfless. It feels like the ending is very unexpected. I thought it would continue to tell the story of Philip and Sally's marriage and describe the reactions of Arne and his wife. How to put it this way, I personally don't like Philip as a whole, especially the plot involving him and Armed. What makes me feel most distressed is Nora. It was Philip who betrayed her, but she is a strong woman with upright views and self-respect. Fortunately, she remarried and gained happiness in the end, which is great! There is another woman whose life is a bit miserable, that is Aunt Louisa. After getting married, she has always served her unworthy and indifferent husband. She is sad and infuriating [crying]. The shortcoming is that she is too kind and selfless, rarely considering herself, and always thinking about the person she loves. But does the person she loves love her that much? After the illness finally passed away, her husband and Philip were so hypocritically sad that it was heartbreaking. Even the necklace, one of the relics, was given to Sally by Philip [angry][angry] So this book vividly describes the evil of human nature.

I read it for a long time, because some parts need to be read several times to deeply understand the meaning, so that you can remember it and use it for yourself in the future. The protagonist's inner description is very delicate, which makes you feel like a real person is talking to you. The kindness of the protagonist left a deep impression on me. This book is really worth savoring.

The low self-esteem in childhood - the confusion when growing up - the helplessness in studying - the sprint goal after the opportunity - facing the challenges of future life... I hope everyone can work and live hard and have a happy ending.

There are many possibilities in life. It takes great courage and courage to dare to break through and try, and to put an end to a career or relationship that you have persisted for a long time but are not suitable for. This book is wonderful and profound, and worth reading again and again.

If possible, experience it more and find rational thoughts from it. Life is all kinds of experiences, there is no good or bad, only the insights gained from the experiences. There is no need to be obsessed with any goal or ideal that must be achieved. When you experience all kinds of ups and downs, pain, confusion, disappointment, enlightenment, and relief, you will finally know the meaning of your life. Everyone is different, but they all reach the same goal, returning to reality.

No matter how time passes, things change and people change. Re-reading this book is still touching, beautiful and tranquil.

It's very touching. The description of the protagonist's heart is very real and delicate, and he can empathize with it.

Describe in detail what people are thinking, what they are saying, and what they are doing.

Very interesting, plain autobiography

Good to listen. Recommended. Suggest listening.

I have the desire to read on

Very beautiful and profound

Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles

Isn't this the yoke of human nature? Did the characters in it have different names?

I hope everyone can find the shackles that trap themselves and break them

With his calm and objective narrative style and profound insight into human nature, he is worthy of being a world-class literary master.

Everyone in the world does not do what they want, please forgive him for the sins he committed out of ignorance.

Simple and unpretentious, it reads very smoothly

I fell in love with it as soon as I started listening to it. I like this type of novel and the rhythm of the reader.

The characters are delicately portrayed, and human nature is savored carefully. Every time you are rewarded,

I can empathize with Maugham's delicate psychological description! It's great👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
