William Somerset Maugham was born in 1874 and lived in Paris until he was ten. He was educated at Kings School, Canterbury, and at Heidelberg University. He spent some time at St. Thomas Hospital with the idea of practising medicine, but the success of his first novel, Liza of Lambeth, published in 1897, won him over to literature. Of Human Bondage, the first of his masterpieces, came out in 1915, and with the publication in 1919 of The Moon and Sixpence his reputation as a novelist was established. At the same time his fame as a successful playwright and writer was being consolidated with acclaimed productions of various plays and the publication of several short story collections. His other works include travel books, essays, criticism and the autobiographical The Summing Up and A Writers Notebook.
In 1927 Somerset Maugham settled in the South of France and lived there until his death in 1965
Of Human Bondage is the first and most autobiographical of Maugham’s masterpieces. It is the story of Philip Carey, an orphan eager for life, love and adventure. After a few months studying in Heidelberg, and a brief spell in Paris as would-be artist, Philip settles in London to train as a doctor. And that is where he meets Mildred, the loud but irresistible waitress with whom he plunges into a formative, tortured and masochistic affair which very nearly ruins him.

故事还可以继续
评分刚开始不喜欢男主人公,觉得他眼高手低,自以为是,性格软弱,但越到后面越希望他能找到幸福。
评分Rereading Maugham. / reread in 2016, still one of my all time favorite books, now even better since I know the London geography.
评分就篇幅论,更适合我的是《刀锋》
评分一口气才读完30%,这口气不要憋得太长…读毛叔这本书,就好像真的跟着主人公经历了他的一个一个人生阶段,非常写实,主人公的成长也是循序渐进,没有所谓的性格突变,只有理所当然。
