Erewhon

Mehr zum Buch

Erewhon presents a satirical view of Victorian England through the lens of a fictional utopia, exploring themes such as religion, anthropocentrism, and criminal justice. The narrative begins with the discovery of Erewhon, inspired by Butler's experiences in New Zealand while working on a sheep ranch. This 1872 work cleverly critiques societal norms by juxtaposing them with the bizarre customs of its imaginary country, where the title itself is a play on the word "nowhere."
