The Way of All Flesh

by Samuel Butler

The Way of All Flesh Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hailed by George Bernard Shaw as “one of the summits of human achievement,” The Way of All Flesh is regarded by some as the first 20th-century novel. Samuel Butler’s autobiographical account of a harsh upbringing and troubled adulthood satirizes Victorian hypocrisy in its chronicle of the life and loves of Ernest Pontifex. Along the way, it offers a powerful indictment of 19th-century England’s major institutions—the family, the church, and the class structure. Unabridged republication of the classic 1903 edition.
