Örtmek Samuel Butler: A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Butler’s first book, published in 1863, is a lively compilation of letters that he sent to his family while working as a sheep farmer in New Zealand for several years. Financed and edited into book form by Butler’s father, it is a spirited account of Butler’s experiences on the frontier. This volume also includes nineteen early essays on such varied topics as Darwin’s ‘Origins of Species.’ ‘The Tempest, ‘ English cricketeers, the Italian presthood, and translating Herodotus.

Yazar hakkında

Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was an English novelist, essayist, and critic. He wrote on Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, and Italian art. He is best known for Erewhon (1872) and The Way of All Flesh (1903), a semiautobiographical novel, which, with ferocious wit and palpable anger, skewers the pernicious effects of religious hypocrisy.
