Features: Paul was born into a family of coal miners. His parents were not harmonious in their marriage, and his older brother died young, leaving Paul as his mother's only hope. The girl Paul fell in love with was Millie, but due to his mother's interference, the lovers were unable to fulfill their dreams. The second girl was Clara, and their love also failed to escape the fate of failure. Repeated conflicts left his mother exhausted and eventually ill. Paul finally broke free from his bonds and embarked on a path of independence. Critics believe this book provides strong evidence for Freud's theory of the "Oedipus complex" and is an invaluable guide for readers.
