More about the book
The life of Samuel Butler unfolds against a backdrop of familial conflict and personal transformation. Initially groomed for the Anglican priesthood, he became disillusioned with faith, prompting his emigration to New Zealand. There, he thrived as a sheep farmer while drafting material for his acclaimed novel, "Erewhon." Returning to England, he produced several works, including "Erewhon Revisited" and the posthumously published "The Way of All Flesh," which critiques Victorian morality. Butler's legacy endures despite his fraught relationship with his upbringing and society.
