The Library After Dark

Novel

Of Human Bondage

by W. Somerset Maugham

Philip Carey, an orphan with a club foot, is brought up by his uncle, a vicar, and tries school, Heidelberg, painting in Paris and medicine in London before he learns what he wants. Maugham’s long novel of 1915 is largely his own life. Mildred, the waitress Philip cannot stop loving, is one of fiction’s great bad choices.
