    • Résumé :
      Erewhon is one of the great satirical fantasies of the nineteenth century, a fictional voyage into a society where ordinary assumptions have been turned inside out. Samuel Butler sends his narrator over the mountains into the strange country of Erewhon-nowhere rearranged-where illness is treated as a crime, crime is treated as an ailment, machines have been suppressed as dangerous rivals to humanity, and social respectability rests on customs that are at once absurd, logical, and disturbingly familiar. First published in 1872, the novel remains a sharp satire of Victorian morality, religion, education, law, technology, and social conformity. Butler's power lies in making Erewhon comic, plausible, and unsettling at the same time. Its imaginary civilization is not simple utopia or straightforward dystopia, but a mirror held at an angle, exposing the contradictions of the world Butler knew and anticipating later speculative fiction built around invented societies and philosophical critique. The famous Book of the Machines section gives the novel particular modern force, raising early questions about machine evolution and artificial intelligence long before those became common literary subjects...

      Biographie:
      Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was an English novelist, essayist, critic, translator, and independent thinker whose work challenged many of the dominant assumptions of Victorian intellectual life. Educated at Cambridge and originally expected to enter the clergy, Butler instead moved away from conventional religious belief and developed a career as one of the most provocative prose writers of his age. His interests ranged across literature, theology, evolution, music, art, classical studies, and social criticism, and his best work is marked by scepticism, wit, intellectual boldness, and a deep suspicion of inherited systems of authority.Butler is best known for Erewhon, his satirical fiction of an imaginary society, and The Way of All Flesh, his posthumously published novel attacking Victorian family life, religious hypocrisy, and oppressive moral convention. In Erewhon, Butler brought together travel narrative, speculative fiction, philosophical satire, and social criticism, creating a work that still speaks to readers interested in utopian and dystopian fiction, Victorian literature, classic speculative fiction, critiques of technology, and the literary ancestry of modern science fiction. His writing remains valuable because it refuses passive respectability: Butler's best books question the institutions, habits, and ideas that most societies prefer not to examine too closely....
