Erewhon: Mint Editions (Humorous and Satirical Narratives)

Autor Samuel Butler
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 dec 2020
Erewhon, an anagram for "nowhere," is a faraway land where citizens follow a unique set of rules disregarding conventional beliefs about money, health and science. Beneath the surface, Erewhon is fueled by hypocrisy and inhabitants are riddled with fear. A traveler stumbles across a remote country that appears to be a peaceful paradise. It's a utopian society that doesn't use or value money in a traditional way. Criminals are considered sick and treated as patients, while the ill are imprisoned and labeled as criminals. There's also an overwhelming distrust of machines, which are outlawed due to their potential to evolve and overthrow their masters. Erewhon's superficial qualities grow to become a source of contempt and distrust. Erewhon illustrates a world where an attempt to correct the ills of society causes more harm than good. It's a profound examination of Victorian ethics, benefiting a minority over the majority. Butler's groundbreaking novel has significantly influenced multiple writers in literature and beyond. With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Erewhon is both modern and readable.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
Setting out to make his fortune, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon, and is given a home among its handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this ideal community has its faults... This is a humorous satire on conventional virtues, religious hypocrisy and the unthinking acceptance of beliefs.

Notă biografică

Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) was an iconoclastic English author of a variety of works. Two of his most famous works are the Utopian satire Erewhon and the semi-autobiographical novel The Way of All Flesh, published posthumously. He is also known for examining Christian orthodoxy, substantive studies of evolutionary thought, studies of Italian art and works of literary history and criticism. Butler made prose translations of the Iliad and Odyssey that remain in use to this day.
