Despre autor

Jonathan Swift

scriitor, satirist, eseist și pamfletar politic anglo-irlandez (1667–1745)

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".
