The context In 1726, Swift began Gulliver's Travels which marks a peak of social and political satire through mixing elements on the pamphlet or the mode of the narrative, philosophy, logic, and fantasy science fiction. The novel was written by Swift after the crash of 1720. He had bought shares in the South Sea Company for 1000 pounds. Speculation had increased the value of a share of 128 pounds to 1050 pounds, before collapsing ruining many British traders. This increase and miniaturization of wealth in a very short time had to give Swift the idea of the relative size of changes in its main character would be a metaphor for this crash Swift giving the opportunity to make fun of through the society of his time. Jonathan Swift, born November 30, 1667 in Dublin, Ireland, and died October 19, 1745 in the same city is a writer, satirist, essayist, pamphleteer Anglo-Irish politics. 1] He is also a poet and scholar and, as he was Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. He is famous for writing Gulliver's Travels. Swift is probably the greatest satirist in prose in the English language. He published his works by using pseudonyms as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff and M. B. Draper, or even anonymously. Finally, it is known to be a master of two styles of satire, the satire and horacienne juv nalienne satire. He is a member of Scriblerus Club. His first works He returned to Moor Park, where lives Temple. He wrote the Battle of the Books to defend Temple in the quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns and in 1704, The Tale of the barrel, major work as a ruthless text regarding the stupidity of his contemporaries and who displease Queen Anne. In 1701, he anonymously published his first political pamphlet, A Discourse on the Contests and dissensions in Athens and Rome, where he sided with the Whigs. In 1702, three years after the death of the Temple, he returned to Ireland with Esther Johnson (now aged 20). He quickly gets the benefit of Laracor in County Mealth and a stipend to St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. During the coming to power of the Tories in 1710, Swift supports through articles he wrote for the Examiner from 1711 to 1714, a newspaper of which he is the editor. In 1711, Swift published the political pamphlet "The Conduct of the Allies" attacking the Whig government for its failure to end the war with France. It is thus responsible for preparing public opinion for peace. It is at this time that the Tory government is conducting secret negotiations with France that will lead to the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, helping to end the war of Spanish Succession.

Notă biografică

Jonathan Swift wurde am 30. November 1667 in Dublin in Irland geboren und starb dort am 19. Oktober 1745. Er war ein anglo-irischer Schriftsteller und Satiriker.

Als Swift zur Welt kam, war sein Vater bereits verstorben und die Mutter schickte ihn bis zum fünften Lebensjahr mit einem Kindermädchen nach England. Zurück in Dublin wurde er von Verwandten aufgezogen. Mehr schlecht als recht absolvierte er dort ein Theologiestudium und machte danach in Oxford einen Abschluss als "Master of Arts" - beides finanziert durch einen Verwandten der Mutter.

Swift verfasste seine beiden ersten Bücher und begann eine Beziehung mit der unehelichen Tochter seines Gönners. Nach dessen Tod zog Swift für eine Anstellung bei der Kirche zurück nach Irland. Seine Werke wurden 1704 veröffentlicht und er gab auch politisch engagiert die Wochenzeitung der konservativen Tories heraus. Seine anonym verfassten politischen Satiren waren sogar Anlass, eine Belohnung für die Auffindung des Verfassers auszuschreiben.

Swift hatte eine mehrjährige Beziehung zu einer weiteren Frau, die nach der Beichte der "Dreiecksbeziehung" 1723 starb. Seine erste Freundin starb 1728. Sein heute bekanntester Roman "Gulliver's Travels" erschien 1726. Das eigentlich satirische Werk wurde aufgrund zu "kritischer" Passagen auch zu einer harmlosen Kinderbuchfassung gekürzt.

Neben einer schlimmer werdenden Innenohrerkrankung setzte Swift 1742 ein Schlaganfall zu, der ihn zum Invaliden machte, bis er 1745 schließlich starb.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
'Thus, gentle Reader, I have given thee a faithful History of my Travels for Sixteen Years, and above Seven Months; wherein I have not been so studious of Ornament as of Truth.'In these words Gulliver represents himself as a reliable reporter of the fantastic adventures he has just set down; but how far can we rely on a narrator whose identity is elusive and whoses inventiveness is self-evident? Gulliver's Travels purports to be a travel book, and describes Gulliver's encounters with the inhabitants of four extraordinary places: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. A consummately skilful blend of fantasy and realism makes Gulliver's Travels by turns hilarious, frightening, and profound. Swift plays tricks on us, and delivers one of the world's most disturbing satires of the human condition.This new edition includes the changing frontispiece portraits of Gulliver that appeared in successive early editions. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

In this narrative of the gullible ship's doctor Lemuel Gulliver and his extraordinary travels, Jonathan Swift takes readers through a series of apparently child-like fantasy worlds of tiny people and giants, floating islands and talking horses. But through this fantastic journey, he also gave to literature an enduring model of mankind's follies, vulnerabilities, vanities, and self-destructiveness. Dangerously topical in its own time and much debated ever since, Gulliver's Travels is among those works of English literature that entrap and challenge readers in every period. This edition uses the 1735 edition as the copy text, retaining the original, unmodernized text. Historical appendices provide a context for the novel's literary models, scientific influences, and complex political and religious allusions.
