Setting out to make his fortune in a far-off country, a young traveller discovers the remote and beautiful land of Erewhon and is given a home among its extraordinarily handsome citizens. But their visitor soon discovers that this seemingly ideal community has its faults-here crime is treated indulgently as a malady to be cured, while illness, poverty and misfortune are cruelly punished, and all machines have been superstitiously destroyed after a bizarre prophecy. Can he survive in a world where morality is turned upside down? Inspired by Samuel Butler's years in colonial New Zealand and by his reading of Darwin's Origin of Species, Erewhon is a highly original, irreverent and humorous satire on conventional virtues, religious hypocrisy and the unthinking acceptance of beliefs.

This is the 1965 edition of Upton Sinclair's The Jungle, a novel which exposed the practices of the meat-packing industry. Sinclair wrote a new preface specifically for this edition. Fletcher Martin's illustrations include a color frontispiece and b&w illustrations throughout. It is bound in a sturdy leather-synthetic hybrid material, and has a slipcase.
