Of Human Bondage follows Philip Carey, a sensitive and intelligent young man struggling to find his place in the world. Born with a physical disability and orphaned at an early age, Philip searches for purpose through education, art, relationships, and experience. His journey takes him from England to Paris and into a painful, obsessive love affair that challenges his understanding of himself and the nature of happiness.
Drawing heavily from W. Somerset Maugham's own experiences, the novel offers a deeply human exploration of ambition, insecurity, passion, disappointment, and resilience. Through Philip's struggles, Maugham examines the forces that shape identity and the difficult process of breaking free from emotional and social limitations.
First published in 1915, Of Human Bondage is widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of the twentieth century. With its psychological depth, memorable characters, and honest portrayal of the complexities of human relationships, it remains a powerful and enduring work of literary fiction.

His parents died early and, after an unhappy boyhood, which he recorded poignantly in Of Human Bondage, Maugham became a qualified physician. But writing was his true vocation. For ten years before his first success, he almost literally starved while pouring out novels and plays.
Maugham wrote at a time when experimental modernist literature such as that of William Faulkner, Thomas Mann, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf was gaining increasing popularity and winning critical acclaim. In this context, his plain prose style was criticized as 'such a tissue of clichés' that one's wonder is finally aroused at the writer's ability to assemble so many and at his unfailing inability to put anything in an individual way.
During World War I, Maugham worked for the British Secret Service . He travelled all over the world, and made many visits to America. After World War II, Maugham made his home in south of France and continued to move between England and Nice till his death in 1965.
