1	Way of All Flesh more books like this by Samuel Butler THE WAY OF ALL FLESH is a thinly disguised account of Butler's own Victorian childhood. Butler began the work in 1872; it was finally published in 1903, a year after his death. With irony and wit, he savaged contemporary values and beliefs, turning the conventional family-history novel inside-out. see all copies from $1.99! new only from $3.19! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS
2	Erewhon more books like this by Samuel Butler Samuel Butler claims to have spent 10 years writing his first novel, which emerged as a masterpiece of social and religious satire. The delay was partly due to the fact that it was composed on Sundays while the rest of Butler's weeks were devoted to what he felt at the time was his true calling: painting. Borrowing the landscape of New Zealand and ... see all copies from $1.99! new only from $1.99! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS

5	Erewhon & Erewhon Revisited more books like this by Samuel Butler 1927. Butler's satirical novels revealed his long interest in Darwin's theories of biological evolution, though he had spent a great deal of time criticizing him.

7	Note-Books of Samuel Butler more books like this by Samuel Butler The whole life of some people is a kind of partial death--a long, lingering death-bed, so to speak, of stagnation and nonentity on which death is but the seal, or solemn signing, as the abnegation of all further act and deed on the part of the signer. Death robs these people of even that little strength which they appeared to have and gives them ... see all copies from $4.69! new only from $16.99! \| signed copies \| first editions \| SVS
8	Life and Habit more books like this by Samuel Butler I cannot think that "natural selection," working upon small, fortuitous, indefinite, unintelligent variations, would produce the results we see around us. One wants something that will give a more definite aim to variations, and hence, at times, cause bolder leaps in advance. One cannot but doubt whether so many plants and animals would be being ... see all copies from $12.99! new only from $12.99! \| first editions \| SVS
