Samuel Butler's life was marked by conflict with his parents, particularly his father, and a struggle with his faith, which led him to emigrate to New Zealand in 1859. There, he worked as a sheep farmer and produced drafts for his notable work, "Erewhon." After returning to England, he became a prominent literary figure, publishing several works, including a sequel to "Erewhon" and the semi-autobiographical "The Way of All Flesh," which he withheld from publication during his lifetime due to its controversial themes. Butler passed away in 1902.
