Abstract "W. Somerset Maugham's masterpiece, first published in 1915, is the coming-of-age story of a sensitive young man consumed by an unrequited passion. Born with a clubfoot, Philip is orphaned as a child and sent to a boarding school where he has difficulty fitting in. After a failed attempt to become an artist in Paris, he begins medical studies in London, where he meets a woman named Mildred and falls into a tortured, life-altering love affair. The most autobiographical of Maugham's works, Of Human Bondage is a brilliant and deeply moving portrayal of the price of passion and the universal desire for connection." - page 4 of cover.
