Erewhon Revisited Twenty Years Later, Both by the Original Discoverer of the Country and by His Son by Samuel Butler
Twenty years after Higgs escaped Erewhon by balloon with his bride, he returns to find that his 'miraculous' ascent into the heavens has spawned a whole new religion in his name.
Samuel Butler's 1901 sequel to his classic 'Erewhon' is a sharp satire on the birth of religions and the making of myths. Witty, incisive, thought-provoking. Read it for a biting utopian satire about what happens when an ordinary man is remembered as a god.
