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 rancour, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of a family''s life through several generations.","brand":"Penguin Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51017565700439,"sku":"9780140430127","price":11.69,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780140430127.jpg?v=1750773967","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-way-of-all-flesh-9780140430127","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
