Erewhon; Or, Over the Range
Samuel Butler
After crossing a remote mountain range, a traveler discovers Erewhon, a seemingly civilized society whose customs invert familiar assumptions about illness, morality, technology and work. Samuel Butler’s satirical novel challenges Victorian ideas of progress, reason and social convention.
