`Erewhon Revisited' the sequel to `Erewhon', Samuel Butler's acclaimed first novel, finds adventurer Higgs returning to the mysterious, distant land of Erewhon. There he discovers its people ruled by a religious cult inspired by his hot-air balloon escape thirty years earlier. Devious professors Hanky and Panky have invented a new religion called `Sunchildism' and Higgs, the unwitting `Sun Child,' is not welcome. The professors are determined to preserve their grip on Erewhonians leaving Higgs in mortal danger. With the help of his newfound son, Higgs must once again escape Erewhon if he is to survive. Butler's humorous, perceptive book is a penetrating satire of Christianity in Victorian England and is still as relevant and fresh today. `Erewhon Revisited' is Samuel Butler's last novel. Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was a revolutionary English novelist and critic. He is best known for the utopian novel `Erewhon' (1872) and the posthumous, semi-autobiographical novel `The Way of All Flesh' (1903). Both of which have remained in print ever since. `Erewhon' is renowned as one of the first books to explore the idea of machine evolution. The English writer Aldous Huxley acknowledged the book's influence on his novel `Brave New World', while George Bernard Shaw deemed Butler `the greatest English writer of the latter half of the nineteenth century.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The Second World War was the first war in which air power played a major role. The generation of Army airmen who came of age in the 1930s were enthralled by the theories of the Italian and American generals, Giulio Douhet and Billy Mitchell, who saw air power as the decisive force in wars of the future. #2 The history of the A-bomb is the history of the generals trying to make it a military weapon after all. It became clear that the admirals' main problem with the bomb was that the Air Force had it and the Navy did not. #3 By 1954, the American military had woven nuclear weapons into its war plans. Any armed Soviet incursion into territory deemed vital to American interests would be met with an instant, all-out nuclear response. #4 Eisenhower was a retired Army general who was elected president in 1952. He ended the war in Korea by threatening to drop nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union and China, which had backed North Korea in its invasion of South Korea.
