毛姆 -
《人性的枷锁》是英国小说家毛姆的成名作，也是他的代表作。同时，它也被认为是毛姆的自传体小说。美国现代图书馆将此小说列为“20世纪英语世界最佳100部小说”中的一部，位列第66位。《人性的枷锁》这部小说后来成为毛姆享誉最高、历久不衰的作品。读过此书者，很少有人能忘记主角菲利普在伦敦医学院读书时所经历的惨痛爱情经验。那是全书最生动精彩的地方，作者用戏剧性手法，写出人性的纠葛。

作品中的主人公一直处于命运羁绊之中，并进行着奋力抗争。主人公有着充沛的精力、炽热的欲望、活跃的情感、丰满的理想和思辨的活力。凡此种种，都与客观社会发生着必然的冲突 c:44
等您长大到某个时候，您会忽然发现，自己开始能读，而且读懂了作品的字里行间意义时，那种喜悦感，是无法言述的，也是无与伦比的。您可能也会因此对走过的人生，有更深刻的感悟与理解。 c:25
