Description:
This powerful and deeply personal novel by W. Somerset Maugham follows the life of a sensitive, restless young man shaped by physical limitation, emotional insecurity, and an unrelenting hunger for meaning. From a childhood marked by loss, isolation, and self-doubt, he grows into adulthood burdened by the fear that he is somehow incomplete. His search for purpose leads him through education, art, medicine, and love, yet nothing fully quiets his inner sense of longing and inadequacy. As he moves through intense friendships, painful romantic obsession, and repeated emotional humiliation, his need for love becomes a form of captivity. Desire blinds judgment, pride battles dependency, and hope repeatedly gives way to disappointment. He clings to relationships that wound him, believing suffering itself might somehow lead to fulfillment. Each failure deepens his struggle between freedom and attachment, independence and need. Through quiet endurance and painful self-discovery, W. Somerset Maugham explores identity, desire, self-worth, obsession, and the slow shaping of character through disappointment. The novel is a searching meditation on what it means to be trapped by longing, and how liberation may come not through escape, but through self-understanding. It is a deeply human portrait of vulnerability, resilience, and the difficult road toward emotional freedom. Duration - 1h 34m. Author - W. Somerset Maugham. Narrator - Alex Squire.
