Description

Of Human Bondage by Somerset Maugham

Portrait of a young man’s search for meaning in life. We follow Philip Carey from the age of nine: through his unhappy, orphaned childhood; his abortive attempt to be an artist in Paris; a tormented affair with a woman he loves but cannot respect; to working as a doctor and deciding ‘the simplest pattern, that in which a man was born, worked, married, had children and died, was likewise the most perfect’. Set against a vividly realised backdrop, the cast of characters provide an astonishing diversity of experience: the ‘refined’ waitress Mildred whose descent into prostitution is so painfully chronicled; the despairing artist Fanny Price, and calm, enigmatic Sally who reminds Philip ‘of a cottage garden with the dear flowers that bloom in all men’s hearts’. Never out of print, and widely acknowledged as Maugham’s masterpiece, it was listed by The Times as one of the 100 greatest English-language novels of the 20th century.
