Samuel Butler
Samuel Butler (1835–1902) was an English author whose turbulent upbringing would inspire one of his greatest works, The Way of All Flesh. Butler grew up in a volatile home with an overbearing father who was both mentally and physically abusive. He was eventually sent to boarding school and then St. John's College where he studied Classics. As a young adult, he lived in a parish and aspired to become a clergyman but had a sudden crisis of faith. He decided to travel the world and create new experiences fueling his literary career.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is an excellent recording. There is only one narrator who is excellent for pacing, speed, etc. I am sometimes unimpressed when the recording equipment and voices change throughout a single book. You will not find that here.
As for the book too, if you're interested in literature of this period, it's worth your time.
