author - "Samuel Butler"
Description In a desire for better sheep-farming land on an unnamed British colony, Higgs decides to traverse the distant mountain range. On the other side he discovers not the empty rolling plains of his imagination but an entirely new civilization: the land of Erewhon. Inducted into the ways of their culture, he attempts to transcribe as best he can their thoughts on birth, death, machines, the production of food, their financial system, and many more subjects that on first glance seem absurd
Introduction--General Ignorance On The Subject Of Evolution At The Time The "Origin Of Species" Was Published In 1859. There Are Few Things Which Strike Us With More Surprise, When We Review The Course Taken By Opinion In The Last Century, Than The Suddenness With Which Belief In Witchcraft And Demoniacal Possession Came To An End.
