Notă biografică
JONATHAN SWIFT (1667-1745) was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was a clergyman, and a much-celebrated author and poet, best known for his novel, Gulliver's Travels, which was published in 1726. He is famous for using humour and wit to expose the follies of those around him, and even of himself. This is known as satire. Gulliver's Travels has been in print for almost 300 years and Lemuel Gulliver is a beloved character of English Literature, appearing in artwork, TV adaptions and Hollywood feature films.
Descriere
When Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, sets off on the high seas in search of adventure, things never seem to go quite according to plan. A new illustrated gift edition of a beloved classic.
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.
