{"product_id":"9780141958545","title":"The Way of All Flesh","description":"'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.","brand":"Penguin Books, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072382583024,"sku":"9780141958545","price":13.52,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780141958545_p0.jpg?v=1763656273","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780141958545","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
