    Extractions: Genre Novel Keywords AIDS Alcoholism Disease and Health Grief ... Society Summary Higgs, a sheep farmer, and Chowbok, an old man, decide one day to visit the forbidden country that lies beyond the mountains. When they find a pass through the mountains, Chowbok gets frightened and runs home, so Higgs goes on alone. After a dangerous journey, he wakes one morning surrounded by beautiful shepherdesses. They take his belongings, give him a medical exam, and throw him in jail. There he learns that he has come to Erewhon (an anagram for nowhere). In this country, illness is considered a crime. Sick people are thrown in jail; sickness is their own fault. Even sad people are imprisoned, for grief is a sign of misfortune and people are held responsible for actions that made them unfortunate. People who rob or murder, on the other hand, are treated kindly and taken to the hospital to recover. No machines are allowed in Erewhon as one philosopher thought that machines could rapidly evolve and take over the world. Higgs is invited to dinner with Nosibor, a recovering embezzler. He stays with his family and falls in love with his youngest daughter Arowhena. Nosibor insists that the eldest daughter marry first, so Higgs goes to study at the University of Unreason, where students study anything that has absolutely no practical purpose. Arowhena and Higgs meet there secretly and when Nosibor finds out, he is very angry. Higgs and Arowhena fly away on a balloon. They land in the sea and are taken to England where they marry and plan a missionary trip to Erewhon.

    http://library.christchurch.org.nz/Heritage/LocalHistory/CanterburyWriters/samue
    
    Extractions: Samuel Butler (1835 - 1902) Samuel Butler spent only three years in New Zealand as a runholder in the headwaters of the Rangitata before returning to England, but the Canterbury experience gave him a significant base for a literary achievement of great distinction, and a well deserved reputation for irony and controversy. His most famous works, Erewhon Erewhon Revisited and The Way of All Flesh made him a cult figure in Britain and a leader in the intellectual emancipation from Victorian values. After his arrival in Lyttelton in 1859, Butler explored the Canterbury high country, found unclaimed sheep country, registered his claim against a rival after a famous race to Christchurch and called his station Mesopotamia ('between two rivers'). Resourceful and energetic, he doubled his capital and freed himself from the dominance of his father and the Anglican church at a time of great intellectual perplexity over the troubling findings of Charles Darwin. In the early chapters of Erewhon , Butler gave a realistic picture of the Canterbury high country and the land 'over the range', but the focus of the book is on the England he satirised through his description of Erewhonian society.

( Rating: Review It Surely nature might find some less irritating way of carrying on business if she would give her mind to it. Why should the generations overlap one another at all? Why cannot we be buried as eggs in neat little cells with ten or twenty thousand pounds each wrapped round us in Bank of England notes, and wake up, as the sphex wasp does, to find that its papa and mamma have not only left ample provision at its elbow, but have been eaten by sparrows some weeks before it began to live consciously on its own account? ( Rating: Review It There can be no doubt about faith and not reason being the ultima ratio. Even Euclid, who has laid himself as little open to the charge of credulity as any writer who ever lived, cannot get beyond this. He has no demonstrable first premise. He requires postulates and axioms which transcend demonstration, and without which he can do nothing. His superstructure indeed is demonstration, but his ground his faith. Nor again can he get further than telling a man he is a fool if he persists in differing from him. He says "which is absurd," and declines to discuss the matter further. Faith and authority, therefore, prove to be as necessary for him as for anyone else.
