Inhaltsangabe

Samuel Butler, (1835-1902), wrote: "The Way of All Flesh" was originally published in 1903. This Barnes and Noble edition was published in 2005 as part of their Library of Essential Reading. The novel is, in part, semi-autobiographical. In it, Butler mercilessly exposes Victorian hypocrisies of religion and social life. The book built up a large following for its unsparing and often bitterly comic depiction of generations of the deluded Pontifex family. Contemporary readers can appreciate the story of Ernest Pontifex's fitful and troubled journey into intellectual and social independence, even as lip service to the same Victorian pieties has not yet disappeared.
