Book Reviews of Erewhon (Penguin English Library)
Book Review: A forgotten gem
Summary: 4 Stars
I felt honour-bound to review this Victorian English Book as it surely must have been an inspiration to later authors such as Kafka and Orwell. A 'gulliver-esque' tale is told wherein a traveller chances upon a strange world where the conventional rules of our society are turned upon their head - the ill are sent to prison and criminals are given pity & understanding. Despite the age of the book, it is not a difficult read, and is very underrated (or perhaps just overlooked?)
