Gulliver's Travels, Hardcover
Descriere
At once satiric and magical, rich in philosophy and astonishing adventure, Gulliver s Travels transports children into worlds unknown. The entire voyage is seen through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship s surgeon whose amazing account begins with a shipwreck on the high seas and continues as he encounters a race of miniature people known as Lilliputians; giant Brobdingnagians; the foolish Laputians; the very humanoid Yahoos; and finally, the gentle and wise horse-like Houhynhyms beings far superior to Man. Will Gulliver ever make it home again?
Despre autor
Jonathan "Isaac Bickerstaff" Swift a fost un scriitor englez, unul dintre cei mai importanți reprezentanți ai realismului din prima perioadă a iluminismului englez. Caracterizat printr-un stil șlefuit și o gândire dominată adesea de o aspră mizantropie, Swift a devenit cunoscut mai ales prin opera sa satirică "Gulliver's Travels".
