Description

"Gulliver’s Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput, he discovers a world in miniature. Towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs.
On Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality. While they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire, in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans."

 

The Author

Jonathan Swift

Born in Dublin, Ireland on November 30, 1667. He was an Anglo-Irish cleric, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer and poet, famous for works like Gulliver’s Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, The Drapier’s Letters, The Battle of the Books, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift was probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. Swift published all of his works under pseudonyms–such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier–or anonymously. At the age of 77 he died in year 1745.
