Gulliver's Travels and Other Writings, Paperback
Descriere
Considered one of English literature's first and greatest satirists, Jonathan Swift possessed a timeless genius for pointing out the foibles of human nature that still has the power to provoke, amuse, and, at times, even outrage our modern sensibilities. This representative collection of Swift's major writings includes the complete Gulliver's Travels as well as A Tale of a Tub, ""The Battle of the Books,"" ""A Modest Proposal,"" ""An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity,"" ""The Bickerstaff Papers,"" and many more of his brilliantly satirical works. Here too are selections from Swift's poetry and portions of his Journal to Stella. Swift's savage ridicule, corrosive wit, and sparkling humor are fully displayed in this comprehensive collection.
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".
