Gulliver's Travels
Paperback Book
is universally read,
from the
cabinet council to the nursery,' remarked Alexander Pope when
Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726. One of the unique books of
world literature, Swift's masterful satire describes the astonishing
voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, to surreal kingdoms
inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and
scientists, horses endowed with reason and men who behave like beasts.
Written with great wit and invention, Gulliver's Travels is a savage
parody on man and his institutions that has captivated readers for
nearly three centuries. As bestselling author and critic Allan Bloom
observed: 'Gulliver's Travels is an amazing rhetorical achievement.
Swift had not only the judgment with which to arrive at a reasoned view
of the world but the fancy by means of which he could re-create that
world in a form which teaches where argument fails and which satisfies
all while misleading none.'
