{"product_id":"erewhon-samuel-butler-9780140430578","title":"Erewhon","description":"Setting out to make his fortune in a far-off country, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon and is given a home among its extraordinarily handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this seemingly ideal community has its faults - here crime is treated indulgently as a malady to be cured, while illness, poverty and misfortune are cruelly punished, and all machines have been superstitiously destroyed after a bizarre prophecy. Can he survive in a world where morality is turned upside down? Inspired by Samuel Butler's years in colonial New Zealand and by his reading of Darwin's Origin of Species, Erewhon (1872) is a highly original, irreverent and humorous satire on conventional virtues, religious hypocrisy and the unthinking acceptance of beliefs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Butler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0140430571\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780140430578\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Penguin Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/1970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.66h x 5.48w x 0.66d","brand":"Samuel Butler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44043507466495,"sku":"9780140430578","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b238967b-bb3d-4ec3-b615-1e4d2a7fa44c.jpg?v=1684967544","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/erewhon-samuel-butler-9780140430578","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
