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.
