"Of Human Bondage" by W. Somerset Maugham is a powerful novel that follows the life of Philip Carey, a young man struggling to find his identity and purpose in early 20th-century England. Born with a physical deformity and burdened by a sense of inferiority, Philip embarks on a tumultuous journey of self-discovery and self-destructive relationships. The novel explores themes of love, passion, art, and the constraints of societal expectations.

With its richly drawn characters, vivid descriptions, and poignant insights into the human condition, "Of Human Bondage" remains a timeless masterpiece that examines the intricate bonds that shape our lives and the challenges we face in breaking free from them.
