"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 rancour, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of a family's life through several generations.

Samuel Butler (4 December 1835 – 18 June 1902) was the iconoclastic English author of the Utopian satirical novel Erewhon (1872) and the semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman The Way of All Flesh, published posthumously in 1903. Both have remained in print ever since. In other studies he examined Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, and Italian art, and made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey that are still consulted today. He was also an artist.

評分之前把它當做小說來讀,結果味同嚼蠟。後來纔發現,真的得把它當作一部心酸的自傳
《众生之路》,一部半自传体小说,作者塞缪尔.巴特勒写了十余年,死后一年才得到出版,颇受冷遇。 巴特勒,这个十九世纪的英国作家,我对他不太了解,看过译本序言后就更糊涂了,这个人好象什么都干,没本行可言,往好了说是多才多艺,刻薄点就是不务正业。他一生的经历,可真...
評分萧伯纳曾赞誉巴特勒为“十九世纪后半期英国最伟大的作家”,这评价是过高了些。 巴特勒生前默默无闻,直到《众生之路》出版依然如此。借着萧伯纳的评价,他的《众生之路》多少受到了些关注。这多少和他在书中所批评的现象相类似。如果萧伯纳本就是一个市井平民,他的赞誉还会...

評分如果说各民族有着不同的特性。那这部书就出色反映了英国的国民性。据我自己的读书经验。英国的中产阶级和教士文化是相当别具一格的。 本书就卓越的描述出维多利亚时期和英国新教的虚伪。而且我个人认为,如果不清楚这两点,就无法理解近现代的英国社会以及一切。 此书可以算做...
