«Gulliver's Travels» is Jonathan Swift's satirical novel, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (336 pages, in English).
The surgeon Lemuel Gulliver is shipwrecked and lands in Lilliput, where the inhabitants are tiny; in Brobdingnag, land of giants, he himself ends up a curiosity; then he visits the flying island of Laputa and the country of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses contrasted with the savage Yahoos. Through these adventures, Swift satirizes politics and human nature with a tone that blends fantasy and mordant criticism.
The edition belongs to the Penguin Classics collection, revised and published in 2003, with an introduction by Robert DeMaria Jr.
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.
