Synopsis
In "Of Human Bondage," William Somerset Maugham intricately weaves a bildungsroman that serves as an introspective exploration of the human condition, drawing on his personal experiences and struggles. Written in a clear, unadorned prose style, Maugham's narrative unfolds through the life of Philip Carey, a young man grappling with his ambitions, desires, and the inescapable constraints of fate and circumstance. The novel's literary context is set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, marked by a shift in societal norms and an interplay of existential philosophy, which Maugham navigates deftly to expose the myriad forms of human bondage--be it emotional, social, or psychological. Maugham, a celebrated author known for his keen observational prowess and depictions of complex characters, drew extensively from his own life experiences, including his early struggles with identity and artistic aspiration. His exposure to various cultures and his turbulent relationships fueled the narrative's depth, offering a profound reflection on love, suffering, and the quest for self-understanding. Maugham's background in the literary and theatrical worlds profoundly influenced his writing style, enriching the novel with nuanced emotional tension. This timeless classic is highly recommended for readers intrigued by themes of individuality, resilience, and the universal quest for meaning. Maugham's eloquent prose and psychological insight invite readers to reflect on their own bonds and limitations, making "Of Human Bondage" not only a compelling read but a vital exploration of life's profound complexities.

Paperback. Etat : New. Of Human Bondage" is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham. It is generally agreed to be his masterpiece and to be strongly autobiographical in nature. The Modern Library ranked "Of Human Bondage" No. 66 on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. The book begins with the death of Helen Carey, the mother of nine-year-old Philip Carey. Philip's father Henry had died a few months before, and the orphan Philip, born with a club foot, is sent to live with his Aunt Louisa and Uncle William Carey. Early chapters relate Philip's experience at the vicarage. Louisa tries to be a mother to Philip, but his uncle takes a cold disposition towards him. Philip's uncle has a vast collection of books, and Philip enjoys reading to find ways to escape his mundane existence. Less than a year later, Philip is sent to a boarding school. His uncle and aunt wish for him to eventually attend Oxford. Philip's disability makes it difficult for him to fit in. He is informed that he could have earned a scholarship for Oxford, which both his uncle and school headmaster see as a wise course, but Philip insists on going to Germany. In Germany, Philip lives at a boarding house with other foreigners. Philip enjoys his stay in Germany. Philip's guardians decide to take matters into their own hands and they convince him to move to take up an apprenticeship. William Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) was a British playwright, novelist and short story writer. He was among the most popular writers of his era and reputedly the highest paid author during the 1930s. N° de réf. du vendeur LU-9788027276769
