Erewhon is a biting satire wich caused a sensation when it was first published anonymously in 1872. Erewhon, na anagram of "nowhere", is na unknown civilisation on the far side of a range of uncharted mountains in a remote colony of the British Empire. It is a form od anti-Utopia in which illness is a criminal offence, children choose their parents and health and beauty signify morality. Butler attacks ecclesiastical institutions and the moral hypocrisy of Victorian England with Swiftian wit and savagery, and the novel's elegance and humour offer the modern reader rich entertainment far beyond the merely academic.
