Gulliver’s Travels (Classic Starts)
by Jonathan Swift
Description:
Through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift’s unforgettable satire takes readers into worlds formerly unimagined. Visit four strange and remarkable lands: Lilliput, where Gulliver seems a giant among a race of tiny people; Brobdingnag, the opposite, where the natives are giants and Gulliver puny; the ruined yet magical country of Laputa; and the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses far superior to the ugly humanoid Yahoos who share their universe. Abridged for easier reading, with “Classic Starts[trademark]”, young readers can experience the wonder of timeless stories from an early age.
About The Author
Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin on 30 November 1667, some months after his father’s death. He was sent to Kilkenny Grammar School when he was six and later attended Trinity College, Dublin, where he received his BA degree in 1686. He is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language, which stemmed from his criticism of Britain’s repressive colonial policies in Ireland. Among Swift’s best known works is his ironic masterpiece, ‘A Modest Proposal’ (1729), and his novel, Gulliver’s Travels (1726). Swift died on 19 October 1745.
