Samuel Butler (1835-1902), a fierce opponent of the social and religious concepts of his time, which were characterized by hypocrisy and deceit, creates here his own utopia, Erevon. It is a satirical novel, his response to the perceptions of his time, which he wrote after reading Darwin’s Origin of the Species, a work that was vastly influential to him.
His observations and comments retain all their freshness and humor to this day, so that we may learn a lot from him.
