Somerset Maugham's great novel of youth, obsession, disillusionment, and the painful education of desire.\u003c\/strong\u003e Philip Carey, orphaned as a child and burdened by a physical deformity, passes through school, religion, art, medicine, love, humiliation, and self-deception in search of a life that can be honestly lived. His attachment to the indifferent Mildred becomes one of the most famous destructive relationships in twentieth-century fiction, exposing the raw dependency, pride, and vulnerability that shape his passage into adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBroad in scope yet intimate in psychological detail, Maugham's novel stands among the major English literary classics of the early twentieth century.
