Beschreibung
Journey into the moral and societal complexities of the late 19th century through Samuel Butler's "The Way of All Flesh." This timeless novel explores the life of Ernest Pontifex, a young man grappling with the rigid conventions of Victorian England. In a world where tradition and expectations reign supreme, Ernest's journey of self-discovery and rebellion challenges the very foundations of society.
Butler's incisive critique of the era's moral hypocrisy and the oppressive influence of family and religion remains as relevant today as it was when first published. Through Ernest's trials and tribulations, the novel delves into themes of personal freedom, the clash of generations, and the struggle for authenticity.
"The Way of All Flesh" invites readers to reflect on their own place within the social framework and question the enduring values that shape our lives. A timeless exploration of individuality and societal constraints, this novel continues to resonate, offering profound insights into the human condition.
