Erewhon

Butler, Samuel

Erewhon, anagram of nowhere, is an unknown country to which, after numerous adventures, an "advanced" European arrives. The discovery of a new society, with different and often disconcerting ways of doing things, allows us to guess that perhaps we should not be so cofois of our civilization. In Erewhon, everyone stands out for great beauty; in Erewhon, diseases are punished with imprisonment; in Erewhon, eating meat or vegetables is not allowed because this would involve sacrificing living things; in Erewhon, machines and technology are forbidden because of the risk that they govern us... Very close to Gulliver's Travels, this amazing novel warns us that sometimes utopias, for better or for worse, they can come true.
