Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Samuel Butler's Erewhon is a brilliant Victorian satire disguised as a traveler's romance, recounting a narrator's discovery of a remote society whose customs invert those of nineteenth-century England. In Erewhon, illness is treat…ed as crime, crime as misfortune, and machines are feared as potentially evolving rivals to humanity. Written with lucid irony and philosophical wit, the book belongs to the tradition of utopian and anti-utopian fiction, standing beside Swift while anticipating later speculative critiques of modernity. Butler's own life illuminates the novel's rebellious intelligence. Educated at Cambridge and initially expected to enter the clergy, he rejected orthodox religion and emigrated to New Zealand, where he worked as a sheep farmer before returning to England as a writer and critic. His skepticism toward dogma, Darwinian debate, institutional hypocrisy, and Victorian moral certainties all inform Erewhon's searching inversions and comic provocations. This book is recommended to readers interested in satire, intellectual history, and early science fiction. Its humor remains sharp, but its deeper value lies in its unsettling questions about morality, progress, punishment, education, and the machines we create. 132 pp. Englisch.
