Produktbeschreibung
A sharp, wry wake¿up call from the land of Erewhon. A new edition that invites today's readers to revisit a classic that still forces us to question the moral map of civilisation. Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later, Both By The Original Discoverer Of The Country And By His Son, brings together Butler's visionary satire and a revealing social commentary narrative that probes progress versus decay, religion and morality, and the stubborn hypocrisies of late nineteenth¿century England. The exploration of a satirical utopian fiction becomes a mirror for our own era, where ideas about civilisation, culture, and human folly collide with wit, humour, and enduring intelligence. This is more than a reprint; it is a carefully restored text that preserves the flavour of Victorian England while speaking clearly to modern readers. A landmark for academic readers and general readers classics alike, it resonates with book club discussions and thoughtful exploration of literary history. Its significance-from its place in classic literary satire to its ongoing relevance in social critique-will appeal to collectors and casual readers who value context, craft, and cultural depth. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
Autorenporträt
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.
