About

Generally considered to be W. Somerset Maugham's masterpiece, Of Human Bondage follows Philip Carey, an orphan since age nine, as he grows up in a small town under the care of his aunt and uncle-a vicar who controls his inheritance.

While considered by many to be an autobiography, Maugham has stated that "...though much in it is autobiographical, more is pure invention." Of Human Bondage has been adapted for the screen three times, most recently in 1964, and has been referenced in countless mediums including the film Seven and television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Justified.
