Of Human Bondage is a moving exploration of loneliness, obsessive love, and a young man's search for meaning and direction in life. Written in the third person, it tells the story of Philip Carey, a self-conscious orphan with a club-foot who learns medicine. Not only is this a significant work in the Bildungsroman tradition, but its largely autobiographical basis gives it a special interest in view of the exceptional public success that Somerset Maugham was to enjoy over several decades. The first and probably the most autobiographical of Maugham's novels, this is the story of Philip Carey, a club-footed orphan, eager for life, love and adventure. After a few months studying in Heidelberg, and a brief spell in Paris as a would-be artist, Philip settles in London to train as a doctor. And that is where he meets Mildred, the loud but irresistible waitress with whom he plunges into a formative, tortured and masochistic affair which very nearly ruins him 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 Lon
