Samuel Butler (4 December 1835 – 18 June 1902) was the iconoclastic English author of the Utopian satirical novel Erewhon (1872) and the semi-autobiographical Bildungsroman The Way of All Flesh, published posthumously in 1903. Both have remained in print ever since. In other studies he examined Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, and Italian art, and made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey that are still consulted today. He was also an artist.
"I am the enfant terrible of literature and science. If I cannot, and I know I cannot, get the literary and scientific big-wigs to give me a shilling, I can, and I know I can, heave bricks into the middle of them."
With The Way of All Flesh, Samuel Butler threw a subversive brick at the smug face of Victorian domesticity. Published in 1903, a year after Butler's death, the novel is a thinly disguised account of his own childhood and youth "in the bosom of a Christian family." With irony, wit and sometimes rancour, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning inside-out the conventional novel of a family's life through several generations.

作者这部半自传体小说,写的是自己的成长,那是“自己的路”,折射时代,或许就是想要表达的“众生之路”。 让人想到自己的经历。 最近总是在焦虑和释然中徘徊。焦虑了然后释然,看开了却又难过。 等地铁的时候很少人因为人多就去等下一班。因为就算很挤也会有一些空隙,去等下...
评分萧伯纳曾赞誉巴特勒为“十九世纪后半期英国最伟大的作家”,这评价是过高了些。 巴特勒生前默默无闻,直到《众生之路》出版依然如此。借着萧伯纳的评价,他的《众生之路》多少受到了些关注。这多少和他在书中所批评的现象相类似。如果萧伯纳本就是一个市井平民,他的赞誉还会...

众生之路。To spare the rod is to spoil the child. 棍棒教育的危害,19世纪宗教运动的风潮,三代人的人生起伏。这里没有符合小说形式的圆满结局,只有最真实的众生之路,坎坷而庸常。叙事视角挺独特的,虽是熟人讲述,却也类似上帝视角。

评分之前把它当做小说来读,结果味同嚼蜡。后来才发现,真的得把它当作一部心酸的自传
