About this listen

Dive into the thought-provoking world of Erewhon, a timeless classic by Samuel Butler that masterfully blends satire, philosophy, and speculative fiction. Set in a mysterious and isolated land, Erewhon explores a society that challenges conventional notions of morality, technology, religion, and justice.

Through the eyes of the narrator, you’ll embark on a journey into a civilization that mirrors yet subverts the norms of Victorian England, presenting ideas that remain strikingly relevant today. From the eccentric rejection of machines to the unconventional take on crime and punishment, Butler crafts a world where logic and absurdity collide in fascinating ways.

This audiobook invites listeners to reflect on humanity's relationship with progress and ethics, all while reveling in Butler's sharp wit and imaginative storytelling. Whether you're a fan of dystopian tales, social critique, or philosophical musings, Erewhon promises a compelling and enlightening experience.

Perfect for listeners who appreciate literary classics with layers of meaning, this audiobook is both an intellectual challenge and a captivating story. Embark on this journey to Erewhon and discover a work that continues to inspire debate and curiosity over a century after its publication.
