What began as a speculative journey into an imaginary country becomes, in Butler's hands, a pointed comic examination of belief, authority, institutional self-preservation, and the ways societies convert inconvenient facts into comforting doctrine. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrated with Butler's characteristic irony and intellectual bite, \u003cem\u003eErewhon Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e deepens the satire of its predecessor while standing as a work of philosophical fiction, comic invention, and anti-dogmatic social commentary. Its fictional land allows Butler to examine religion, respectability, progress, and public myth-making at a safe imaginative distance, yet the targets remain unmistakably close to home. For readers of Victorian satire, classic speculative fiction, utopian and dystopian literature, philosophical fiction, and nineteenth-century social criticism, \u003cem\u003eErewhon Revisited\u003c\/em\u003e remains a distinctive and provocative continuation of Butler's most famous imaginative world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 196\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 28, 2012\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53554220335411,"sku":"9781617206160","price":22.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/s3xxpj-vy.myshopify.com\/products\/erewhon-revisited-paperback","provider":"The Celestial Starlit Phoenix ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
