Description
Of Human Bondage (1915) is a novel by W. Somerset Maugham.
It is generally agreed to be his masterpiece and to be strongly autobiographical
in nature, although Maugham stated, "This is a novel, not an autobiography,
though much in it is autobiographical, more is pure invention." Maugham, who had
originally planned to call his novel Beauty from Ashes, finally settled on a
title taken from Spinoza's Ethics
