Jonathan Swift's Gulliver

by Jonathan Swift, Chris Riddell, Martin Jenkins   |  Ages 9-12
Jonathan Swift's Gulliver
Jonathan Swift's Gulliver

Satirical odyssey through fantastical worlds.

Swift's Gulliver is a delightful journey into absurdity and satire that relentlessly pokes at the human condition and society's quirks. With its imaginative lands and peculiar inhabitants, it offers both escapism and a lens through which to examine our own world. Dive into this and find not just adventure, but a mirror of humanity's follies and a subtle call for introspection.

Description

First published in 1726, Jonathan Swift's classic adventure story has long been a favorite with adults and children alike. This magnificent edition contains all of Gulliver's extraordinary voyages. Travel to Lilliput, land of the small, and Brobdingnag, land of giants; to Laputa, where inhabitants need to be hit on the head with sticks to remind them to talk; to Glubbdubdrib, island of ghosts and magicians; and finally, to the kingdom of the Houyhnhnms, where horses rule over humans. Award-winning author Martin Jenkins has skillfully abridged the original novel, remaining true to its tone and humor while making it accessible to younger readers. He is brilliantly assisted by Kate Greenaway Medalist Chris Riddell, who brings to life the people, creatures, and kingdoms of Swift's searing imagination in wonderful panoramic detail. A tour de force of illustration and design, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver is a magnificent introduction to one of the most popular stories in the English language.
