- Beautifully illustrated with atmospheric paintings by renowned artists, The Way of All Flesh is Samuel Butler's powerful semi-autobiographical novel that attacks Victorian hypocrisy. His criticism was so fierce that he didn't dare publish it during his lifetime - it was published in 1903, a year after his death.- The Way of All Flesh was ranked 12th on the Modern library's list of the 100 best English-language novels of the twentieth century.- Just as accessible and enjoyable for today's readers as it would have been when first published over a century ago, the novel is one of the great works of English literature and continues to be widely read throughout the world.- This meticulous edition from Heritage Illustrated Publishing is a faithful reproduction of the original text.
