Jonathan Swift's classic is one the greatest novels written in the English language. It's a monumental satire of political and social mores, particularly of the Seventeenth Century obsession with travel and exploration. Gulliver journeys through a series of islands meeting a fantastical array of people – the tiny Liliputions, the gigantic Brobdingnags, philosophers on a floating island, unhappy immortals, elevated speaking horses, and brutish humans called Yahoos. His observations oblige the reader to think of themselves in such company, to measure their own behaviour, and think beyond their own preconceived notions. Such preoccupations resonate still today.

Embark on a fantastical journey with Lemuel Gulliver as he encounters miniature Lilliputians, towering Brobdingnagians and bizarre societies in JonathanSwift's classic satire, Gulliver's Travels. Through wit and imagination, Swift offers a sharp critique of human nature, politics and society that remains relevant today.

Jonathan Swift, Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and Anglican cleric. He wrote A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). The Encyclopaedia Britannica considered Swift the most significant English prose satirist. He wrote all anonymously under pseudonyms and specialized in Horatian and Juvenalian satire. Deadpan, ironic writing, especially in A Modest Proposal, has led to the term "Swiftian." William Temple returned to Moor Park in 1691 after leaving Temple for Ireland due to health issues. He became an established Church of Ireland priest after earning his M. A. from Hart Hall, Oxford, in 1692. The Diocese of Connor appointed him prebend of Kilroot in 1694. Swift, who called Jane Waring "Varina," may have dated Waring in his remote community. He helped publish Temple's memoirs and correspondence after returning to England and Moor Park in 1696. Swift briefly edited his memoirs in England after Temple died in 1699. His work alienated Temple's family and friends, including his sister, Martha Lady Giffard. Swift tried to talk to King William but failed and became the Earl of Berkeley's secretary and chaplain. He wrote many of his works in Trim, County Meath. Trinity College Dublin awarded Swift a Doctor of Divinity in 1702. In October, Esther Johnson and Rebecca Dingley joined him in Ireland. Some believe Swift and Esther Johnson were secretly married, while others don't. Swift, an influential 17th-century politician, supported the Glorious Revolution and was initially a Whig. The return of the Catholic monarchy and "Papist" absolutism worried him. Swift published The Conduct of the Allies in 1711 after supporting the Tory government in 1710. Henry St. John and Robert Harley often consulted him as a Tory government insider. In London, Swift became involved with Esther Vanhomrigh, one of their daughters.

This classic satirical novel, written by Jonathan Swift and first published in 1726, is an awesome adventure that has made Gulliver's Travels a favorite book of readers for over 250 years.

Kak by vygljadela strana, v kotoroj vse zhiteli rostom ne bolshe ladoni? Lemjuel Gulliver, bolshoj okhotnik do puteshestvij, odnazhdy okazalsja v takoj udivitelnoj strane - Liliputii.

Dzhonatan Svift - anglo-irlandskij pisatel-satirik i poet. Vsemirnuju populjarnost emu prinjos roman "Puteshestvija Gullivera" - zakhvatyvajuschaja istorija neverojatnykh prikljuchenij korabelnogo vracha Lemjuelja Gullivera v Liliputii - strane liliputov i v Brobdingnege - strane velikanov. So dnja pervogo izdanija knigi proshlo pochti 300 let, no sobytija, razvorachivajuschiesja na ejo stranitsakh, po-prezhnemu volnujut voobrazhenie chitatelej, uvlekaja v fantasticheskie puteshestvija vmeste s glavnym geroem. Roman perevedjon na mnogie jazyki i neodnokratno ekranizirovalsja.

Vpervye my znakomimsja s etoj istoriej v detstve v silno sokraschennom variante, adaptirovannom dlja junogo chitatelja, no dannoe izdanie predlagaet versiju polnuju i otnjud ne detskuju. Po vole sudby korabelnyj vrach Lemjuel Gulliver okazyvaetsja na sudne, kotoroe terpit krushenie. Tak nachinaetsja shestnadtsatiletnee puteshestvie geroja: ot Liliputii do strany loshadej s razumom cheloveka - guigngnmov. Svift pri pomoschi fantasticheskogo sjuzheta, mjagkoj ironii, a poroj i jadovitogo sarkazma vysmeivaet chelovecheskie poroki i obnazhaet sotsialnye jazvy obschestva.
