- Erewhon: or, Over the Range is a novel by Samuel Butler, published anonymously in 1872. The title is also the name of a country, supposedly discovered by the protagonist. In the novel, it is not revealed in which part of the world Erewhon is, but it is clear that it is a fictional country. Butler meant the title to be read as the word Nowhere backwards, even though the letters "h" and "w" are transposed, therefore Erewhon is anagram of nowhere. It is likely that he did this to protect himself from accusations of being unpatriotic, although Erewhon is a satire of Victorian society. The first few chapters of the novel, dealing with the discovery of Erewhon, are in fact based on Butler's own experiences in New Zealand where, as a young man, he worked as a sheep farmer for about four years (1860–1864) and explored parts of the interior of the South Island. One of the country's largest sheep stations, located near where Butler lived, is named "Erewhon" in his honour. In the preface to the first edition of his book, Butler specified: The author wishes it to be understood that Erewhon is pronounced as a word of three syllables, all short — thus, E-re-whon. Nevertheless, the word is occasionally pronounced with two syllables as 'air - one'.
- Erewhon ist ein Roman des englischen Schriftstellers Samuel Butler aus dem Jahr 1872. Er spielt in einem fiktiven Land, das der Erzähler entdeckt. Der Name dieses Landes, Erewhon, ist ein Anagramm des englischen Wortes nowhere (nirgendwo), was wiederum eine freie Übersetzung des griechischstämmigen Begriffs Utopia ist. Bei dem Roman handelt es sich also um ein Beispiel der Gattung Utopie, und zwar in Form einer Satire auf die Gesellschaft im viktorianischen England. (Eine ähnliche Umkehrung verwendete auch George Orwell 76 Jahre später, als er die Jahreszahl 1948 umdrehte und sie zum Titel seines Romans 1984 machte. ) 1901 erschien eine Fortsetzung unter dem Titel Erewhon Revisited.
- Erewhon è un romanzo fantastico e satirico di Samuel Butler. Fu pubblicato nel 1872, inizialmente in forma anonima.
- Erewhon ou De l'autre côté des montagnes Modèle:Lang est un roman utopique de Samuel Butler (1835-1902) publié anonymement en 1872. Erewhon, anagramme presque anacyclique de Modèle:Lang, « nulle part » en anglais, est le nom du pays imaginaire où se déroule l'essentiel du roman. Il s'agit d'une satire de la société victorienne, parfois comparée aux Voyages de Gulliver de Jonathan Swift. Les premiers chapitres, traitant de la découverte d'Erewhon, sont inspirés de la vie de l'auteur en Nouvelle-Zélande. Dans sa jeunesse, il y a été berger pendant quatre ans (1860-1864) et y exploré l'intérieur des terres de l'île du Sud. Une suite, Erewhon revisité, est parue en 1901. D'après Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans Qu'est ce que la Philosophie (Les éditions de Minuit) Erewhon ne renvoie pas seulement à Modèle:Lang, ou « nulle part », mais à Modèle:Lang, « ici-maintenant ». Gilles Deleuze évoque déjà cette œuvre avec une remarque similaire dans Différence et Répétition.
