Samuel Butler’s ‘The Way of All Flesh’ is a classic novel that delves into the themes of family, religion, and society in the Victorian era. The book follows the life of Ernest Pontifex as he struggles to break free from the oppressive expectations of his family and society. Butler’s writing style is concise and satirical, offering a sharp critique of the hypocrisy and rigidity of his time. The novel’s exploration of moral and ethical dilemmas makes it a thought-provoking read that continues to resonate with readers today. At its core, ‘The Way of All Flesh’ is a compelling portrait of a young man’s journey towards self-discovery and independence.
