	Erewhon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first few chapters of the novel, dealing with the discovery of Erewhon, are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand, where as a young man he was a sheep farmer for about four years (1860-1864) and where he explored parts of the interior of the South Island.
		At first glance Erewhon appears to be a utopia, yet it soon becomes clear that this is far from the case.
		Yet for all the failings of Erewhon it is also clearly not a dystopia (or anti-utopia), an undesirable society such as that depicted by George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four.

	Samuel Butler (1835-1902) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1872 his satirical novel Erewhon appeared anonymously, causing some speculation as to the identity of the author; when Butler revealed himself as the author, some expressed disappointment that none of the more famous personages speculated about had written it.
		Erewhon made Butler a well-known figure, and he wrote a number of other books, including a not so successful sequel, Erewhon Revisited.
		Erewhon revealed Butler's long interest in Darwin's theories of biological evolution, though Butler spent a great deal of time criticising Darwin, not least because he believed that Charles had not sufficiently acknowledged his grandfather Erasmus Darwin's contribution to the origins of the theory.

		The great debunker of the social and religious hypocrisy of his day, Samuel Butler began to write this satirical novel shortly after he had read The Origin of Species, which influenced him greatly.
		First published in 1872, Erewhon still retains its freshness and originality and we have as much to learn from it as ever.
