Over the span of a century, the Pontifex family is populated by
manipulative and domineering characters attempting to control the
fate of the next generation. In The Way of All Flesh, Ernest
Pontifex tries to pursue a righteous path but is met with
painstaking hardships. Ernest is the son of Theobald and Christina
Pontifex, who are prominent members of the religious order. Ernest
attempts to follow in their footsteps, embracing theology and
becoming a clergyman. Yet, his position is short-lived as he
discovers corruption in the High Church and loses most of his
earnings. In the midst of his troubles, Ernest questions the
importance of titles, status and family tradition. He travels down
a rocky road that tests his faith in both man and God. The Way of
All Flesh is a scathing commentary on the hypocritical views and
expectations of Victorian society. Butler was praised for his
exploration of a destructive family dynamic. It's an erratic tale
and one of the most iconic novels of the early twentieth century.
With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset
manuscript, this edition of The Way of All Flesh is both modern and
readable.
