Bag om Erewhon

""Erewhon: Or Over The Range"" is a satirical novel written by Samuel Butler and first published in 1901. The book is set in the fictional country of Erewhon, which is a utopia where everything is perfect and everyone is happy. However, as the story unfolds, the reader discovers that things are not as they seem. The society of Erewhon is based on the suppression of individuality and the rejection of technology, and those who are deemed to be sick or imperfect are banished to the mountains. The novel is a commentary on the dangers of utopian thinking and the need for individual freedom and creativity. It is a thought-provoking and entertaining read that continues to be relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
