Description
Erewhon: or, Over the Range is a satirical novel by Samuel Butler, first published anonymously in 1872. The title refers to a fictional country whose location remains unknown throughout the story. The novel is set against the backdrop of Victorian society and draws inspiration from Butler's own experiences as a young man working on a sheep farm in New Zealand. This early chapter of his life is woven into the narrative, adding depth and authenticity to the tale. With its unique blend of satire and personal reflection, Erewhon offers a thought-provoking read for those interested in literary fiction and the social commentary of the time.
