The Way of All Flesh has become one of the most widely read and influential books ever written. 

Published in hundreds of editions and translated into virtually every modern language, it has not been out of print since 1903.

SAMUEL BUTLER (1835-1902) transformed the art of fiction. Author of numerous works including Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh, he is considered to be a literary colossus, and a central figure in the development of the modern novel.
