EREWHON OR, OVER THE RANGE
EREWHON OR, OVER THE RANGE
By Samuel Butler
What if society punished illness and treated crime as sickness? In Samuel Butler's satirical utopian novel, EREWHON OR, OVER THE RANGE, discover a mysterious, isolated country—Erewhon ("Nowhere" backwards)—where conventional beliefs about law, medicine, and morality are turned upside down. When protagonist Higgs explores this land beyond the mountains, he uncovers a civilization that is both familiar and shockingly inverted compared to Victorian England. Butler’s sharp wit critiques social issues through the bizarre customs of the Erewhonians, particularly their "Straighteners"—who treat criminals with compassion—and their imprisonment of the sick. This timeless literary classic is a thought-provoking journey that challenges everything you know about justice, health, and utopian dreams. Explore this unforgettable satire on Victorian society today!
