OF HUMAN BONDAGE - WILLIAM SOMERSET MAUGHAM KAR...

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. Marked by countless similarities to
Maugham s own life  his masterpiece is not an autobiography  as the author himself once
contended  but an autobiographical novel  fact and fiction are inexorably mingled  the emotions
are my own. And although he based Of Human Bondage on what he knew  his is an excessively rare
gift of storytelling...almost the equal of imagination itself. * With an Introduction by
Benjamin De Mott and an Afterword by Maeve Binchy *The Sunday Times (London)
