One of the great novels of the twentieth century, Of Human Bondage tells a fascinating tale of sexual obsession. The story--taking its title from Spinoza’s Ethics: "Of human bondage, or the strength of the emotions"--follows Philip Carey in his search for freedom from the strict, oppressive Christian upbringing he suffered as an orphan in an English vicarage. Philip sets out on a journey of discovery that leads him to Heidelberg and to Paris. But it is back in London that Philip’s enthrallment with Mildred--the slatternly, pale waitress who makes him a slave to desire--awakens him to the world of obsessive love, deep passion, and true self-discovery, The unforgettable love story is as timeless as it is involving; an intimate tale of human relationships that Theodore Dreiser called "a work of ,genius."

本文生动描述了一个瘸子被一个服务员骗了感情之后跟朋友的女儿搞在一起的故事。表达了这么一个深刻的道理--中等才华人士的出路是突然有一天他觉得“就他妈这样算了”。

我看的是1947年的zephyr版。不过实在找不到那么好的版本了。就用这个当记录吧。

非常有感触的一本书，很多时候看着看着觉得Philip跟我本人还真是像啊。最终的结局有点出乎意料，但是细想，也许真的是这样，远走高飞很多时候到了最后发现只是臆想中的美好，还是生活中捏在手里的幸福真实比较重要。这么相比，其实我的人生还没翻到那一页吧。
