The Way of All Flesh by SAMUEL BUTLER , abridged in 15 parts by JACK SINGLETON Read by Richard Leech (1)
First published in 1903, a year after Butler's death, The Way of A Flesh was a spectacular success. The story of Ernest Pontifex and his struggle to escape the domination of his father has been described as a hymn of hate against Victorian Christianity, Victorian family life and in particular against Butler's own parents-a devastating reprisal raid across the generation gap '. (Music: Janacek's Idyll)
