Description

Erewhon, or Over the Range, is a thought-provoking novel by Samuel Butler, first published anonymously in 1872. The story unfolds in a mysterious country called Erewhon, which the protagonist claims to have discovered. While the exact location of this fictional land remains undisclosed, Butler cleverly crafted the title as a play on the word Nowhere—with a twist in the letters to evade accusations of unpatriotism. This satirical work offers a profound critique of Victorian society, making it a timeless exploration of cultural norms and human behavior.
