Alps and Sanctuaries of Piedmont and the Canton Ticino

Autor Samuel Butler
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 iul 2006
Butler (1835-1902) was the iconoclastic English author of the Utopian satirical novel Erewhon (1872) and the semi-autobiographical The Way of All Flesh, published posthumously in 1903, both of which have remained in print since first publication. In other studies he examined Christian orthodoxy, evolutionary thought, Italian art, and also made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey which are still consulted today. He grew up in an oppressive home environment, chronicled in The Way of All Flesh, and his relationship with his father was largely antagonistic. During his early schooling at home he was subjected to frequent beatings and was then sent to Shrewsbury School, where his grandfather had been headmaster, aged 12 where conditions were also hard. In 1854 he went up to St John's College, Cambridge, obtaining a first in Classics in 1858. Whilst preparing for his ordination into the Anglican clergy he began questioning his faith and in 1859 emigrated to New Zealand where he became a successful sheep farmer, wrote A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863) about his experiences, and worked on his masterpiece Erewhon. In 1864 he returned to England taking rooms near London's Fleet Street where he lived for the rest of his life. Erewhon appeared anonymously, arousing much speculation about its authorship, and when Butler revealed himself the book made him a well-known figure. An inheritance allowed him to holiday in Italy each summer which resulted in his works on Italian landscape and art including Alps and Sanctuaries of Piedmont and the Canton Ticino (1881). Please note that the illustrations that accompanied the original edition were not available for reproduction in this reprint.
