Présentation de l'éditeur

Cambridge Pieces (1858) is a collection of essays and poetry by Samuel Butler written during his years at Cambridge. They were initially published in the Eagle Magazine. The collection contains a variety of essays on different subjects, including his translation and literary activities, his trip to the Continent, and his early life experiences. On English Composition and Other Matters, Napoleon at St. Helena, and On the Italian Priesthood are some of the essays in the collection.

Biographie de l'auteur

Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is best known for his utopian satire Erewhon, his posthumous novel The Way of All Flesh, and his translations of Homer. His family background made a career in the Church inevitable, but, while serving a low-income parish in London, he began to question his faith. He lived in New Zealand for five years, and later in life spent time in Italy.
