Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later: Both by the Original Discoverer of the Country and by His Son I forget when, but not very long after I had published "Erewhon" in 1872, it occurred to me to ask myself what course events in Erewhon would probably take after Mr. Higgs, as I suppose I may now call him, had made his escape in the balloon with Arowhena. Given a people in the conditions supposed to exist in Erewhon, and given the apparently miraculous ascent of a remarkable stranger into the heavens with an earthly bride - what would be the effect on the people generally? There was no use in trying to solve this problem before, say, twenty years should have given time for Erewhonian developments to assume something like permanent shape, and in 1892 was too busy with books now published to be able to attend to Erewhon. It was not till the early winter of 1900, i.e., as nearly as may be thirty years after the date of Higgs´s escape, that I found time to deal with the question above stated, and to answer it, according to my lights, in the book which I now lay before the public. I have concluded, I believe rightly, that the events described in Chapter XXIV. of "Erewhon" would gite rise to such a cataclysmic change in the old Erewhonian opinions as would result in the development of a new religion. Now the development of all new religions follows much the same general course. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
