Amazon.com explains it really well:
Erewhon (an anagram for "nowhere") is a faraway land where sickness is a punishable crime, criminals receive compassionate medical treatment, and machines are banned (for fear they'll evolve and become the masters of man). Butler's entertaining and thought-provoking Utopian novel takes aim at such hallowed institutions as family, church, and mechanical progress; its remarkable prescience in anticipating future sociological trends adds a special relevance for today's readers.To read more about it, here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Erewhon-Thrift-Editions-Samuel-Butler/
We all have our own Erewhons. Places that exist nowhere else, but in our minds and emotions. I like to visit mine in my Art. I hope you enjoy the visit too. Thank you.
We wish everyone a very Happy New Year! We purr and pray 2015 brings all our wonderful Friends hope, joy, love and peace. Thank you for being so kind and supportive to us this past year. We appreciate each one of you, furry and human, for the wonderful souls you are and how you make the world a better place by just being in it.
Hugs and kitty kisses!
