A glorious exercise in cheeky punmanship, The Wonderful Wonder of Wonders sees Jonathan Swift in fine scatological form. Flying by the seat of his pants, the great author treats us to a condensed biography of his posterior, enlivened by some inspired wordplay.

Also including a selection of Swift's other lesser-known works, and a very peculiar proposal to make money from public...

What is the nature, essence and definition of a fart? What are the consequences and disadvantages of suppressing one? Why is farting considered to be taboo? Swift's The Benefit of Farting argues eloquently, in a forceful a posteriori fashion, that most of the distempers thought to affect the fairer sex are due to flatulences not adequately vented. To complete the excursus into this venerable and age-old human activity, Charles James Fox's 'Essay upon Wind' provides a detailed...

Inspired by Boileau's Lutrin and illustrating the debate within European intellectual circles between the "Ancients", who argued that all essential knowledge was to be found in classical texts, and the "Moderns", who claimed that contemporary learning superseded the old sources, The Battle of the Books shows Swift at his wittiest and most trenchant. In this early satire, various books in St James's Library take on a life of their own and come into conflict with one another, in a...

Cavalli che parlano e ragionano, giganti dalle proporzioni smisurate, nani cosi piccoli da poter essere tenuti in una tasca, filosofi che popolano isole volanti: sono solo alcune delle creature straordinarie che il capitano Lemuel Gulliver incontra nel corso dei suoi viaggi avventurosi, tra mille peripezie e innumerevoli pericoli. Pubblicato nel 1726, e oggi noto soprattutto come un classico della narrativa per ragazzi, ma rappresenta anche un capolavoro del fantastico e della satira. Dietro la...

Shipwrecked on an unknown island, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself surrounded by its six-inch-tall natives, the Lilliputians.
