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.

In the course of his famous travels, Gulliver is captured by miniature people who wage war on each other because of religious disagreement over how to crack eggs, is sexually assaulted by giants, visits a floating island, and decides that the society of horses is better than that of his fellow man. Swift's tough, filthy and incisive satire has much to say about the state of the world today and is presented here in its unexpurgated entirety.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish satirist, essayist, prose writer and poet, who has found his calling as a cleric of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. "A Tale of a Tub" is one the most famous and masterful of Swift's satire works. It is a prose parody consisting of several sections about the morals and ethics of England, a satire of religious overflow, tendencies in literature, politics, theology, and even medicine. Nothing went unnoticed!
