Gulliver's Travels
Opis książki
Embark on a fantastical journey through strange and wondrous lands, where the boundaries of reality and imagination blur. This timeless tale follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, as he voyages to extraordinary worlds that challenge his perceptions and values. From the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput to the giants of Brobdingnag, each voyage brings Gulliver face to face with societies that reflect and satirise the follies and vices of human nature.
Jonathan Swift's brilliant satire deftly combines humour and profundity, making it an enduring masterpiece of English literature. Gulliver's Travels remains a compelling exploration of the human condition, inviting readers to reflect on their own world through the lens of Gulliver's extraordinary experiences.
JONATHAN SWIFT [1667-1745] was an Anglo-Irish author, poet, and satirist. His deadpan satire led to the coining of the term »Swiftian«, describing satire of similarly ironic writing style. He is most famous for the novel Gulliver’s Travels [1726] and the essay A Modest Proposal [1729].
