Of Human Bondage is a bildungsroman featuring the protagonist Philip Carey, a club-footed orphan who is raised by his religious aunt and uncle. From a young age, Carey yearns for adventure and moves to Paris to pursue a career in art. Subsequently, he moves to London to study medicine, where he meets the androgynous Mildred, with whom he begins a torturous love affair that will forever alter the course of his life. A strongly autobiographical novel (Maugham's formative source of shame was a stammer rather than a club foot), Of Human Bondage is considered Maugham's masterpiece. The book was adapted into three films in 1934, 1946, and 1964. The films starred Leslie Howard and Bette Davis, Paul Henreid and Eleanor Parker, and Laurence Harvey and Kim Novak as Philip and Mildred, respectively. John Sloan (1871 - 1951) was a painter and printmaker who was one of "The Eight" - a group of American painters who created raw and realistic scenes of America, and who exhibited together in February of 1908 - and the similarly minded Ashcan School. In his career, Sloan tended towards painting urban scenes, nudes, and landscapes.. Signed by Artist. First Edition Thus. Hard Cover. Fine. Illus. by Sloan, John.
