Specimens
The way of all flesh; introd. by Royal A. Gettmann
Novel about the human spirit and its struggle toward liberty and truth. Satire leveled chiefly at certain methods of briging up children and false ideas of respectability.
This novel is largely autobiographical, detailing the familial strife which characterized Butler's life and often figures in his work. Ernest, the novel's hero, has an unhappy schooling and little success in romance; his sadness is exacerbated by his father, Theobald Pontifex, a bullying clergyman. An unfortunate marriage makes a happy adult life appear impossible, until Ernest begins to seek fulfillment in literature, finding meaning in the life of a writer. -Amazon.com.

The Way of all flesh
Autobiographical fiction
Butler's thinly veiled account of his own upbringing in a God-fearing Christian family depicts the self-righteous hypocrisy underlying nineteenth-century domestic life.
"I am the enfant terrible of literature and science. If I cannot, and I know I cannot, get the literary and scientific big-wigs to give me a shilling, I can, and I know I can, heave bricks into the middle of them."With The Way of All Flesh, Samuel Butler threw a subversive brick at the smug face of Victorian domesticity. Published in 1903, a year after Butler's death, the novel is a thinly disguised account of his own childhood and youth "in the bosom of a Christian family." With irony, wit, and sometimes rancor, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of a family's life through several generations.The Way of All Flesh tells the story of Ernest Pontifex and his struggles with Victorian mores, his restrictive, highly religious family, and Victorian society itself. Butler is remembered as one of the greatest of the anti-Victorians, whose ideas reflected accurately the new, more liberal society that was to come following the death of England's great Queen, and the beginning of a new era.

Ainsi va toute chair. Traduit de l'anglais par Valery Larbaud
In the form of a novel, brilliant with wit and irony, the author presents a study of his favourite theme, the relations of parents to children. The idiosyncracy of the Pontifex family is traced from father to son through several generations: old John Pontifex, the village carpenter, George, the domineering publisher, Theobold his son, who is bullied into taking orders and jockeyed into marriage with the smug Christina, and Ernest, their child, who in turn suffers cruelly from the pharisaical tyranny of his father during childhood and schooldays.
This is in part an autobiography of Samuel Butler. It is about loneliness, religion, and beliefs of society.

Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time Samuel Butler was among the most wide-ranging of the accomplished crew of late Victorian writers to which be belonged -- a forceful controversialist in the debates that surrounded Darwin's theory of evolution, a painter who sometimes exhibited at the Royal Academy, an idiosyncratic critic and a gifted travel writer, and even, in his early years, a highly successful sheep farmer in New Zealand. He was also, as The Way of All Flesh, his deterministic tale of the havoc wrought by genetic inheritance, suggests, one of the great British masters of the novel of ideas.
