Erewhon by Samuel Butler
ISBN: 9780140430578 PUBLISHER: Penguin Books Ltd FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 272 PUBLICATION DATE: 26.09.1974 DIMENSIONS: 198mmX129mmX16mm 202grams
DESCRIPTION: Setting out to make his fortune in a far-off country, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon, and is given a home among its extraordinarily handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this seemingly ideal community has its faults - here crime is treated indulgently as a malady to be cured, while illness, poverty and misfortune are cruelly punished, and all machines have been superstitiously destroyed after a bizarre prophecy. Can he survive in a world where morality is turned upside down? Inspired by Samuel Butler's years in colonial New Zealand, and by his reading of Darwin's "Origin of Species", Erewhon (1872) is a highly original, irreverent and humorous satire on conventional virtues, religious hypocrisy and the unthinking acceptance of beliefs.
