Of Human Bondage Classic Paperback Book by W. Somerset Maugham from Vintage 1956
From a tormented orphan with a clubfoot, Philip Carey grows into an impressionable young man with a voracious appetite for adventure and knowledge.
His cravings take him to Paris at age eighteen to try his hand at art, then back to London to study medicine.
But even so, nothing can sate his nagging hunger for experience.
Then he falls obsessively in love, embarking on a disastrous relationship that will change his life forever.…
Marked by countless similarities to Maugham’s own life, his masterpiece is “not an autobiography,” as the author himself once contended, “but an autobiographical novel; fact and fiction are inexorably mingled; the emotions are my own.”
