Gulliver's Travels

Autor Jonathan Swift
Notă:  4.00 · 2 note 
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 iun 2017
During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behavior, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favorite of the court. From there, the book follows Gulliver's observations on the Court of Lilliput. He is also given the permission to roam around the city on a condition that he must not harm their subjects. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbors, the Blefuscudians, by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the court. Gulliver is charged with treason for, among other "crimes", "making water" in the capital (even though he was putting out a fire and saving countless lives.) He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded, but with the assistance of a kind friend, he escapes to Blefuscu...

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.

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.

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.
