"Erewhon; Or, Over the Range" by Samuel Butler is a satirical adventure following a protagonist who seeks a new life by leaving England for a remote colony, only to find a beautiful landscape that does not bring him the wealth he imagined and is driven by a longing and curiosity that pushes him to journey into the unknown land of Erewhon. There, through encounters with strange people and their unusual customs, the book critically examines the values and norms of Victorian England, sparking questions about society, morality, and what it truly means to be civilized.
