["Genius novelist" Somerset Maugham's collection of life essays is written to everyone who is stuck in life: Do it boldly, don't be afraid, no one cares; even if someone cares, people are nothing.
In his twilight years, he expressed his understanding of life and the world in writing with the natural sensitivity of a novelist. Those unknown aspects of life and profound thoughts that span the ages can often be thought-provoking.
The book is divided into three chapters: "Me and the World in My Eyes", "Writers' Talks" and "Whispers in Old Age". The themes include life insights, reading, writing, philosophical thinking, choices and other dimensions. The book explores more often the core issues that all individuals are concerned about: how should I live, how should I choose, and how should I live my life well?
