About this book
Creators: Samuel Butler (1835-1902) "The Way of All Flesh" by Samuel Butler is a semi-autobiographical novel written between 1873 and 1884, though published posthumously in 1903. This scathing attack on Victorian hypocrisy follows four generations of the Pontifex family, centering on Ernest Pontifex's turbulent journey from oppressive childhood to troubled adulthood. Dominated by hypocritical parents and navigating theological crises, prison, a disastrous marriage, and eventual liberation, Ernest's story captured the anti-Victorian sentiment of its time, earning recognition as a landmark English novel.
