Jonathan Swift 
Gulliver’s Travels [EPUB ebook] 

Supporto

The classic tale of shipwreck and adventure in strange lands, Gulliver’s Travels is also a wickedly clever satire on the nature of humankind ‘A masterwork of irony … that contains both a dark and bitter meaning and a joyous, extraordinary creativity of imagination’ Malcolm Bradbury Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters – with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos – give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift’s savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver’s Travels has been interpreted since its first publication.
