"Erewhon or, Over the Range" is a novel by Samuel Butler which was first published anonymously in 1872. The title of the book refers to the name of a country, supposedly discovered by the protagonist. In the novel, it is not revealed where Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be read as "NOWHERE" backwards even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed. At first glance, Erewhon appears to be a Utopia, yet it soon becomes clear that this is far from the case. In a 1945 broadcast, George Orwell praised and recommended the book and said that when Butler wrote Erewhon it needed "imagination of a very high order to see that machinery could be dangerous as well as useful." Samuel Butler (1835-1902) was an iconoclastic English author of a variety of works. He is also known for examining Christian orthodoxy, substantive studies of evolutionary thought, studies of Italian art, and works of literary history and criticism. Butler also made prose translations of Homer's Iliad and Odyssey that remain in use to this day.

?En ensam vandrare hamnar i Landet Ingenstans och får uppleva ett utopiskt samhälle där pengar är värdelösa och naturen orörd. Men snart slår upplevelsen om, och Landet Ingenstans visar sig under ytan vara en nattsvart dystopi, fullt av religiöst hyckleri och politiska orättvisor.Landet Ingenstans var ursprungligen skriven som en ilsken satir över viktorianskt liv och brittiska imperiedrömmar men har som tidlös dystopisk varning inspirerat George Orwell, Aldous Huxley, H.G. Wells och många andra efterföljare. För vår egen tid blir den extra intressant genom att förekomma fenomen som DNA-testning och artificiell intelligens.Engelsmannen Samuel Butler (1835–1902) gjorde uppror mot sina föräldrar och sin kristna tro och emigrerade till Nya Zeeland, ett landskap som inspirerade till Landet Ingenstans. Efter en framgångsrik tid som fåruppfödare återvände han hem och slog om till författare och kritiker.

This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING
