Erewhon: Over the Range

When young explorer Higgs crosses a treacherous mountain range, he stumbles into Erewhon—a hidden land where everything is backwards. Illness is a crime, crime is treated as weakness, and machines have been outlawed for fear they might evolve. Navigating this strange world, Higgs faces trial for having tuberculosis, falls in love with two very different women, and uncovers the absurdities of a society that mirrors his own. Samuel Butler’s brilliant 1872 satire of Victorian England is brought to vivid life in this faithful modern retelling, preserving all its wit and insight for today’s reader. Part of Timeless Classics.
