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.

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!

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...

Jonathan Swift's entry into the world, on 30 November 1667 at Dublin, was not an easy one. Seven months before the author's birth, his father died, leaving an English wife lacking in income. As a boy, Swift was taken under the wing of a wealthy uncle, who paid for his education. He attended Trinity College in Dublin and Oxford, and was later ordained as an Anglican priest. Swift remained in England, becoming active in politics, and developed a reputation as a great satirist. His first major...

An immaculate success on its publication in 1726, Gulliver's Travels has since had an odd double life as both a classic traveller's tale for children and a scathing satire of the human condition. Lemuel Gulliver's adventures in a series of fantastical lands - where he meets the tiny people of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, the excessively rational equine Houyhnhnms, the wild and brutish Yahoos, and the philosophical Laputans - leave him with a deeply pessimistic perspective...

Jonathan Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one of its few rivals in fame and breadth of appeal). As a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos in Ilouyhnhnmland, where talking horses are the dominant species. It spares no vested interest from its...
