1901
Published in 1901, 'Erewhon Revisited' is a philosophical sequel to Samuel Butler's earlier work, 'Erewhon.' The novel follows Mr. Higgs, who returns to the fictional society of Erewhon twenty years after his miraculous escape, only to find himself revered as 'the Sunchild.' Through the perspective of his son, John, the narrative explores themes of belief, identity, and the emergence of new religions amid societal change, while also addressing the challenges faced by Higgs in reclaiming his past amidst the dangers posed by rival factions.

“Life is that property of matter whereby it can remember. Matter that can remember is living; matter that cannot remember is dead. Life then is memory.””
— Samuel Butler
“It has been said that though God cannot alter the past, historians can; it is perhaps because they can be useful to Him in this respect that He tolerates their existence.””
— Samuel Butler
