Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) "Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships" (or simply "Gulliver's Travels") is the best known work of Jonathan Swift which brought him worldwide fame. This edition includes more than 100 black-and-white illustrations by Charles Edmund Brock. Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society, the Penguin Classics edition of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels is edited with an introduction and notes by Robert Demaria, Jr. Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver's Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin. Sent to Kilkenny Grammar School when he was six, Swift later attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he received his BA degree in 1686. He is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language, which stemmed from his criticism of Britain's repressive colonial policies in Ireland. Among Swift's best known works is his ironic masterpiece, 'A Modest Proposal' (1729), and his novel, Gulliver's Travels (1726).

'A masterwork of irony ... that contains both a dark and bitter meaning and a joyous, extraordinary creativity of imagination' Malcolm Bradbury Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) “Every Man Desires to Live Long, But No Man Wishes to Be Old.” Shipwrecked on his first voyage, he wakes up in Lilliput—a kingdom of tiny people who are one-twelfth the height of human beings..

Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) Attacked by pirates on his third, marooned near a desolate island, he discovers Laputa—the flying island with educated but impractical people.. Gulliver's Travels (with illustrations) And as a captain of a merchantman on his fourth voyage, abandoned on a landing boat by his crew, he meets Houyhnhnms—a race of talking horses who are the rulers and Yahoos—the deformed creatures who are human beings in their base form. Meet Lemuel Gulliver, as he describes his adventurous voyages across the islands he lands upon.

Artwork that bring to life certain episodes in the story Suggestions for further reading and website links that the reader will find informative and helpful Rightly described as 'Hans Christian Andersen for children, Boccacio for adults', Gulliver's Travels is the most celebrated work of Jonathan Swift. Written as an incisive satire on the society and politics of the time, the book went on to become a favourite with children as well. From its very first edition, Gulliver's Travels was popular across all ages. In the book the author uses the medium of travel literature to satirize human nature and society. Through Gulliver's trip to the four fantastical nations, Swift reflects the follies of European culture, especially England. He criticizes European colonialism and the consequent brutality and destruction that was inflicted upon innocent, native populations under the pretext of civilizing them. The protagonist in the book, Lemuel Gulliver, is also the pseudonym under which Swift wrote the book, fearing that the satire may not be received well by the readers and the political establishment. Gulliver is a trusting, gullible man, who by strange twists of fate lands in strange places and has unusual encounters. His experiences in the island of the tiny Lilliputs, the land of the giant Brobdingnagians, the floating island of the Laputians, and the utopian land of the Houyhnhnms provide the ground for criticizing European culture, especially English society. Parallels from real life and incidents of Swift's time emerge as one reads about each voyage, turning the book into a powerful alleagorical commentary. By the end of the story, Swift's criticism of mankind and society becomes so bitter that Gulliver is shown to recoil from human society. He stays away even from his own family. However, the satire, lighthearted in the beginning and scathing towards the end, does not make the book any less enjoyable. Gulliver's Travels remains a timeless classic for adults and an enchanting tale of fantasy for children.
