Synopsis Gulliver's Travels, is a novel by Jonathan Swift that is both a satire on human nature in Four Parts. On his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and awakes to find himself a prisoner of a race of people one-twelfth the size of normal human beings. On his second voyage, he is abandoned by his companions and found by a farmer who is 60 feet tall. On his third voyage, he is attacked by pirates and marooned on a desolate rocky island. He is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics, but utterly unable to use these for practical ends. On his final trip, he discovers a utopia ruled by horses. It is Swift's best known work, and a classic of English literature. ---------- About the Author ---------- Jonathan Swift (1667–1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and cleric who became Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin. He is remembered for works such as Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. Due to the contoversial nature of his work he originally published all of his work anonymously or under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier. ---------- Return Policy---------- If you are unsatisfied with your purchase for any reason, a FULL refund will be issued so long as I am notified within 14 days after you receive your purchase.
