Erewhon
İlk kez 1872’de imzasız yayımlanan ve adı “hiçbir yer” (nowhere) sözcüğünün anagramı olan romanın başkişisi, zengin olma amacıyla hayalî bir ülkeye gider. Tuhaflıklarla dolu ülkede, sadece sosyal statü sağlayan paranın satın alma değeri yoktur; insanın yaşam mücadelesinde tehlikeli bir rakip olarak görülen makineler yasaklanmıştır; hastalanmak hapis cezası getiren bir suç sayılır; profesörler üniversite öğrencilerine hiçbir şey söylemeden uzun uzun konuşmayı öğretirler. Samuel Butler, bir serüven öyküsü gibi görünen romanda, Britanya İmparatorluğu’nun global bir endüstriyel güç konumuna geldiği Victoria döneminin teknik gelişimini hicvediyor; dönemin aile, kilise, hukuk kurumlarına kıvrak bir zekâyla eleştirel yorum getiriyor. #dünyaklasikleri #ingilizklasikleri #bilinmeyeneyolculuk #doğaylamücadele #keşif #serüven

Erewhon
Written in the tradition of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, English novelist, essayist, and iconoclast Samuel Butler (1835-1902) describes an imaginary visit to a topsy-turvy country called Erewhon (an anagram of "nowhere"), where it is a punishable offense to be physically ill, but where criminality and immorality are looked kindly upon as treatable diseases. The English church is pilloried in the system of "Musical Banks," whose currency nobody believes in but everyone pretends to value. Universities teach courses on how to say nothing at great length, and all machines have been banned for fear that they will develop through evolution and enslave the citizens.

Erewhon
Erewhon: or, Over the Range is a novel by Samuel Butler which was first published anonymously in 1872. The title is also the name of a country, supposedly discovered by the protagonist. In the novel, it is not revealed where Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be understood as the word "nowhere" backwards even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed. The book is a satire on Victorian society. The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for about four years (1860-64), and explored parts of the interior of the South Island and which he wrote about in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).

Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited
In Erewhon, an anagram for "nowhere," sickness is a punishable crime, criminals receive compassionate medical treatment, and machines are banned, lest they evolve and take over. Originally published in 1872, the proto-steampunk novel Erewhon won its author immediate recognition as a satirist. SamuelButler followed in the tradition of Voltaire and Swift in creating Erewhon and Erewhon Revisited, which are widely recognized as the nineteenth century's most important works of their kind. Entertaining and provocative, these books are unsparing in their treatment of the hypocrisies of Victorian society, taking aim at the family, church, and mechanical "progress." George Orwell, no stranger to the depiction of futuristic societies, noted that at the time of Erewhon's writing the author needed "imagination of a very high order to see that machinery could be dangerous as well as useful." Today's readers will also find the book remarkably prescient in its anticipation of future sociological trends.

In the novel, it is not revealed where Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be read as "nowhere" backwards even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed, as it would have been pronounced in his day (and still is in some dialects of English). The book is a satire on Victorian society. The first few chapters of the novel dealing with the discovery of Erewhon are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer on Mesopotamia Station for about four years (1860-64), and explored parts of the interior of the South Island and which he wrote about in his A First Year in Canterbury Settlement (1863).
