This classic bildungsroman tells the story of Philip Carey, a sensitive boy born with a clubfoot who is orphaned and raised by a religious aunt and uncle. Philip yearns for adventure, and at eighteen leaves home, eventually pursuing a career as an artist in Paris. When he returns to London to study medicine, he meets the androgynous but alluring Mildred and begins a doomed love affair that will change the course of his life. There is no more powerful story of sexual infatuation, of human longing for connection and freedom.\u003cbr\u003e\n\"Here is a novel of the utmost importance,\" wrote Theodore Dreiser on publication. \"It is a beacon of light by which the wanderer may be guided. . . . One feels as though one were sitting before a splendid Shiraz of priceless texture and intricate weave, admiring, feeling, responding sensually to its colors and tones.\"\u003cbr\u003e\nWith an Introduction by Gore Vidal\u003cbr\u003e\nCommentary by Theodore Dreiser and Graham Greene\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780375753152\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 x 5.2 x 1.7 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Random House Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66571371217200,"sku":"Trans_9780375753152","price":869.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/51sec1SEkJL.jpg?v=1776792231","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/of-human-bondage-5","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
