C. Fifield edition "Erewhon Revisited, Twenty Years Later, Both by the Original Discoverer of the Country and by his Son" by Samuel Butler is a philosophical novel written during the late 19th century. This sequel to Butler's earlier work, "Erewhon," explores the impacts and developments within the fictional society of Erewhon after the main character, Mr. Higgs, escapes with his wife in a balloon. The narrative follows a retrospective examination of societal growth and the emergence of religion influenced by Higgs's miraculous ascent, delving into themes of belief, identity, and the nature of truth. The opening of "Erewhon Revisited" reveals the author's contemplation on the changes that might have occurred in Erewhon over two decades, particularly after the extraordinary escape of Mr. Higgs and Arowhena. Butler introduces the notion that such a miraculous event would give rise to a new religion, outlining how new faiths often emerge during times of societal upheaval. He juxtaposes this with his father's journey back to Erewhon, detailing the struggles he faced in maintaining credibility and personal dignity after his previous experiences. As the narrative unfolds, it also introduces key characters, including the young son who represents a bridge between the past and the present, while foreshadowing the complex interactions that will arise as he learns about his father's legacy in this extraordinary land.
