{"product_id":"a-case-of-human-bondage-beverley-nichols","title":"A Case Of Human Bondage:  Beverley Nichols","description":"\u003cp\u003eW. Somerset Maugham's death released the inevitable spate of biographies, reminiscences and reappraisals. This, a controversial best-seller on both sides of the Atlantic, is the break-up of the Maugham marriage, caused not by the 'Master's' enslavement to a woman, but to a man. In defending the memory of Syrie, it tells a great deal about her husband - the much praised, worldly, cynical but emotionally imprisoned Somerset Maugham. Nichols brilliantly evokes the period, style and setting of the Master at the height of his success, influence and fame. His own sympathies are clear, and it is perhaps left to the individual reader to pronounce the final verdict.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback; Mayflower-Dell 1969; previous owner's name; light cover crease; light shelfwear; tightly bound and clean within; SCARCE TITLE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosmic Cauldron Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43854233862222,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/cosmiccauldronbooks.com.au\/products\/a-case-of-human-bondage-beverley-nichols","provider":"Cosmic Cauldron Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
