More about the book
Exploring the tumultuous relationship with his parents and his struggle with faith, Samuel Butler's life journey led him from an oppressive upbringing in England to a transformative experience as a sheep farmer in New Zealand. His time there inspired much of his acclaimed work, including the Utopian novel "Erewhon," published in 1872. After returning to England, he became a notable literary figure, yet his semi-autobiographical "The Way of All Flesh" remained unpublished during his lifetime due to its critical view of Victorian morality. Butler passed away in 1902, leaving a complex legacy.
