Description: |
Philip Carey is an orphan eager for life, love and adventure. After a few months studying in Heidelburg, and a brief spell in Paris as a would-be artist, he settles in London to train as a doctor. He meets Mildred, the loud but irresistible waitress with whom he plunges into a formative, tortured and masochistic affair which very nearly ruins him. |
Synopsis: |
The hero is Philip Carey, a sensitive and talented orphan with a clubfoot who is raised by an uncaring aunt and uncle. It is the story of Philip's struggle for independence and his pursuit of his art. Often autobiographical, Of Human Bondage is considered to be Maugham's finest work. |
