Description

Following a shipwreck, Lemuel Gulliver, an Irish ship surgeon, lands in Lilliput and finds himself among a tiny people who are even smaller than the length of a human hand. This is just the beginning of his fantastic voyages around the world. He next visits Brobdingnag, a land of giants, then Laputa, a flying island inhabited by an every-speculating folk, and finally the land of Houyhnhnms, the wise horses, who rule, among others, the bestial Yahoos who bear a striking resemblance to modern humans. During all his travels, Gulliver cannot but stop thinking that human race has a long way to go before it even comes close to understand the world around it. A satire par excellence, Gulliver’s Travels has been a favourite with both adults and children since its first publication in 1726. It has also been adapted for visual media over and again.

About the Author

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish author, poet and essayist. He was born in Dublin in 1667. He received a bachelors in arts from Trinity College, Dublin. He was famous for his outstanding satire and produced impressive works such as A Tale of a Tub, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, Gulliver’s Travels, among others. However, it was Gulliver’s Travels that won him enduring fame. He published most of his writings under pseudonyms. John Ruskin called him one of the three most influential people. Similarly, George Orwell declared him the most admirable person in spite of having disagreements on various matters. Swift also worked as a statesman’s assistant and engaged in political pamphleteering. In his later years, he became a cleric as dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. He died in 1745 and was buried next to his lifelong love Esther Johnson inside Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral.
