"Akin" is a collection of short stories that Maugham personally edited and selected during his lifetime. It includes six short stories based on his experiences during his two trips to the Malay Peninsula and surrounding areas in the early 1920s. The title is the name of a Chinese servant the author hired during his travels. The six novels have different themes, ranging from bizarre murders to passionate love and hopeless marriages. Maugham uses his clear and smooth language to tell these twists and turns of the story without any obscurity, but with foreshadowing everywhere. In Somerset Maugham's works, those Westerners who have escaped from the Western civilized world and come to remote and unfamiliar environments are often swayed by their own desires, become erratic, unpredictable, and do unusual things. The ending of the story often presents a surprising and thought-provoking turning point.

"The Shackles of Life" is one of the most important masterpieces of the famous British writer and "story master" Maugham, and also his most famous autobiographical novel. The protagonist of the novel, Philip Carey, lost both his parents when he was young. Unfortunately, he was also born with a disability. He spent his childhood in an indifferent and unfamiliar environment, making his character withdrawn and sensitive. The years he spent in boarding school made him suffer from the unreasonable school system, and when he entered the society, he experienced pain in love. On the bumpy road of life, he had to struggle hard every step he took, but Kaili, who was independent in thought and personality, had been trying to break away from the two shackles that restricted his spirit, religion and petty citizen consciousness, and tried to find the true meaning of life in the chaotic and chaotic life.

This novel is first of all a satirical work, a "slander", and its object of ridicule is the various evil habits in the British literary world at that time represented by Driffield (alluding to Hardy - although Maugham once publicly denied it) and Arroy Gere (alluding to Hugh Walpole) in the book, just like a British "The Scholars". "Bi Hua Chai Video" is also a hymn, praising Driffield's ex-wife and the heroine Lucy in the book: this image of the charming Earth Mother can be called the most charming female character in Maugham's works. This image has been haunting the author for decades. In his mind, he had long thought about writing it into his own works but struggled with the opportunity. It was not until the writing of "Bi Huachai Video Recording" that this long-awaited opportunity finally came into being; Maugham himself also frankly admitted that this was the most touching female image he had ever created.

More than a hundred years ago, American writer Upton Sinclair wrote a book that shocked the United States. Upton Sinclair, like his Chinese counterpart Xia Yan, personally went to the slaughterhouse to "lurk" for seven weeks and truthfully recorded all the horrific facts, which directly triggered a strong response from the American public on food safety and hygiene, and ultimately alarmed the U. S. Government, directly promoting the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Administration Act and the establishment of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration. The latter became the patron saint of American food safety over the next hundred years. This social effect was so good that the author later joked: "I wanted to touch the public's hearts, but unexpectedly hit their stomachs." This is actually a book about fate and struggle.

"Grass Pillow" is one of Natsume Soseki's early important masterpieces. The novel writes about "I": In order to escape the worries of the world and seek a world of "inhuman" beauty, a young painter came to a remote mountain village and what he saw, thought and heard there. The work focuses on describing the people and scenery in the mountain village, interspersed with a large number of "my" monologues about art theory and aesthetics, and comparing the differences between Eastern and Western art. The most core point in these monologues is "inhumanity". The so-called "impersonal feelings" are a realm that transcends morality or human feelings, a worldly realm that transcends the secular world, and is also an artistic aesthetic. For example, the "I" in the work believes that the artistic conception conveyed in Tao Yuanming's poems is deeply "inhuman". Therefore, "The Straw Pillow" is more like Natsume Soseki's treatise on art than a novel; and the description of the mountain village style and the occasional haiku and poems make this work like a beautiful travel prose. In short, "The Straw Pillow" is a unique work and well worth reading.

"Point of View" is the last collection of essays published by the famous British writer and "story master" Somerset Maugham during his lifetime. It is not only a collection of brilliant essays, but also a collection of literary criticism that is knowledgeable and considerate about the world. The characters and themes involved range from the novels of the great poet Goethe to the spiritual cultivation and life story of a Hindu sage, from the self-centeredness and sharpness of three French writers famous for their diaries. The acrimony is reflected in the generosity and kindness of the British theologian and archbishop Tillotson, as well as his plain and natural style. In particular, through the interpretation of the life experiences and artistic characteristics of several short story masters he admired, including Edgar Allan Poe, Kipling, and especially Maupassant, Chekhov and Mansfield, this book provides a wonderful and in-depth discussion and analysis of the short story, a literary form for which he himself is a master. Maugham used his insight in shaping novel characters and his superb story-telling skills to vividly paint a group of images of literati from different eras, different countries, and different fields, and then penetrate into their literary world and inner soul. What he finally opened up is the universal human nature and human heart - from "literary heart" to "human heart".
