«Gulliver's Travels» is Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (336 pages, in English).
Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, arrives in Lilliput, populated by tiny beings; in Brobdingnag, a land of giants who exhibit him as a curiosity; in Laputa, a flying island; and in the land of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses who coexist with the Yahoos. These adventures allow Swift to satirize politics, vanity, and human nature.
The work was originally published in 1726; this 1994 edition belongs to the Penguin Popular Classics collection.
For students of English literature and readers of classics who want to read the satire in its original language.
Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish writer, essayist, satirist, and Anglican cleric. He was the author of the satirical prose novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) and the creator of the fictional island of Lilliput. He is regarded by many as the greatest satirist of the Georgian era and one of the foremost prose authors in the history of English and world literature.
