Of Human Bondage (1915) by W. Somerset Maugham is a
semi-autobiographical novel, a striking psychological masterwork of
one young man's life journey, obsession, love, alienation and
personal vulnerability.
Philip Carey, subtle, intellectual and artistic, is born with a
club foot, a condition which causes him lifelong psychological
torment. Philip spends his youth as an art student in Paris, then
as a medical student in London. He forms friendships,
relationships, observes beauty and engages in a variety of social
interaction. He experiences a loss of faith, poverty, extravagance,
and becomes sensually obsessed with an ultimately vulgar and
worthless woman who reappears at different stages of his life and
causes him to reassess his own maturity and self-worth.
A classic exploration of human bonds, needs, passion, and
self-delusion.
