The Way of All Flesh by Samuel Butler , abridged in fifteen episodes by Jack Singleton. Read by Richard Leech.
First published in 1903, 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
Producer Pat McLoughlin
