{"product_id":"erewhon","title":"Samuel Butler: Erewhon [2006] paperback","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.","brand":"Butler, Samuel \u0026 Mudford, Peter","offers":[{"title":"Good","offer_id":53555822428499,"sku":"XG80140430578","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":47796185301331,"sku":"XV80140430578","price":6.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/butler-samuel-mudford-peter-erewhon-xv80140430578-54882327003475.jpg?v=1710270677","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/erewhon","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
