The hero is Philip Carey, a sensitive and talented orphan with a clubfoot who is raised by an uncaring aunt and uncle. It is the story of Philip's struggle for independence and his pursuit of his art. Often autobiographical, Of Human Bondage is considered to be Maugham's finest work.

W. Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) was an English novelist and playwright. Maugham was famous as a dramatist before he was known for his novels and short stories. His clarity of style, the perfection of his form, and the subtlety of his thought, thinly veiled by a worldly cynicism made him an international figure. Among his novels are Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and The Razor’s Edge.
