OF HUMAN BONDAGE IS A POWERFUL MASTERPIECE! IT IS DELIGHTFULLY WRITTEN AND IT IS VERY INDICATIVE OF THE PERIOD! 656 PAGES IN PRINT! A GREAT READ FOR MATURE READERS!!
Of Human Bondage is a potent expression of the power of sexual obsession and of modern man's yearning for freedom. This classic novel tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life.
Its situations are very hard-edged -- Maugham shows us what social problems look like, and pulls no punches while doing so. Prostitutes here don't sell sex by choice, but because they have no choice. And they don't end up nicely turning into housewives, but instead infected with syphilis, their children dead, on a downward spiral into destruction.
