Erewhon
Erewhon is a biting satire which caused a sensation when it was first published anonymously in 1872.
Erewhon is an unknown civilisation on the far side of a range of uncharted mountains in a remote colony of the British Empire. It is a form of anti-Utopia in which illness is a criminal offence, children choose their parents and health and beauty signify morality.
