The Great Writers Vol. 4: Jonathan Swift - Gulliver's Travels

Satirical travelogue exploring human nature.

Imagine immersing yourself in a world where towering giants and tiny Lilliputians help you see the quirks and flaws of society in a whole new light. Gulliver's Travels does just that with its biting satire and incredible journeys. Both entertaining and intellectually stimulating, it's a classic that invites you to ponder the oddities of our world through the lens of the fantastical.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Shipwrecked traveler Lemuel Gulliver finds himself washed ashore in Lilliput, a kingdom populated by tiny people. Fascinated by their exotic visitor, the Lilliputians enlist Gulliver’s services in their bitter civil war. But Gulliver becomes the object of a court intrigue and has to make a hasty escape. On his next voyage, his ship is blown off course to Brobdingnag, whose giant inhabitants strike him as horrific and occasionally revolting. A third journey takes him to Laputa, a floating island occupied by pedantic scientists and philosophers. Finally, he encounters a society of rational horses, the Houyhnhnms, and witnesses the appalling behaviour of their servants the Yahoos, a group who are in many ways disturbingly similar to Man at his most bestial. Swift’s brilliantly original story is a timeless portrait of the human condition in all its misery and majesty.
