Great classic by preeminent prose satirist of the English language, written with disarming simplicity and careful attention to detail. An enchanting fantasy for children; for adults, a witty parody of political life in Swift''s time.

Edited with an introduction by Robert DeMaria, Jr Chronology, further reading and notes Text based on the first edition of 1726 and reproduces all original illustrations ‘I felt something alive moving on my left Leg … when bending my Eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human Creature not six Inches high’ Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters – with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos – give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift’s savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all its original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr., which discusses the ways Gullivers Travels has been interpreted since its first publication.

A Modest Proposal is a Juvenalian satirical essay written and published anonymously by Jonathan Swift in 1729. Swift suggests that the impoverished Irish might ease their economic troubles by selling their children as food for rich gentlemen and ladies. This satirical hyperbole mocked heartless attitudes towards the poor, as well as British policy toward the Irish in general.

Gulliver's Travel published in England in the eighteenth century is one of the most popular fiction novel throughout the world. This satirical narrative is about Lemuel Gulliver the ill-fated explorer who is ship wrecked first on the isle of Lilliput, inhabited by a race of tiny people and then on Brobdingnag where giants rule the shores. Above all, he voyages to an island floating above the clouds, visits a race of immortals, and finds himself stranded in a land ruled by horses, warring armies and power-hungry kings. However, each journey makes Gulliver more eager to find a way back home, but, once he discovers the truth about his own land and himself, returning home becomes the last thing he desires. Jonathan Swift was an author, journalist, and political activist best known for his satirical novel Gulliver's Travels and for his famous essay on the Irish famine, "A Modest Proposal". His book was a great success throughout the British Empire, and it contributed to Swift's instant fame and legitimacy as a writer and social commentator.

With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury. Jonathan Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one of its few rivals in fame and breadth of appeal). As a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos in Houyhnhnmland, where talking horses are the dominant species. It spares no vested interest from its irreverent wit, and its attack on political and financial corruption, as well as abuses in science, continue to resonate in our own times.
