Publisher's Synopsis
Return to the curious land of "Erewhon" twenty years after its initial discovery in Samuel Butler's satirical sequel, "Erewhon Revisited." This thought-provoking work of utopian fiction, a brilliant example of social commentary, revisits the unique society first unveiled in Butler's earlier novel.
Written as a collaborative effort between the original discoverer and his son, this literary fiction piece explores the evolution - or devolution - of Erewhonian society. Expect sharp wit and incisive observations as Butler continues to lampoon Victorian ideals and societal norms through the lens of a fictional utopia turned dystopia. "Erewhon Revisited" offers a timeless reflection on progress, religion, and the complexities of human nature, making it a compelling read for anyone interested in classic satire and enduring social commentary.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
