Features: Paul was born into a coal miner family. His parents were not harmonious in their marriage, his older brother died young, and Paul became 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 wishes. The second girl was Clara, and their love also failed to escape the fate of failure. Repeated conflicts left his mother exhausted and ill. Paul finally broke free from the bonds and embarked on a path of independence. Critics believe this book provides strong evidence for Freud's "Oedipus complex" theory and is an invaluable guide for readers.
