Of Human Bondage
of W. Somerset Maugham, Benjamin DeMott (Introduction), Maeve Binchy (Afterword)
Description
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.âŠMarked by countless similarities to Maughamâs own life, his masterpiece is ânot an autobiography,â as the author himself once contended, âbut an autobiographical novel; fact and fiction are inexorably mingled; the emotions are my own.â
