Jonathan Swift

Gulliver's Travels (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Lemuel Gulliver's misadventures strand him in a series of strange lands where he encounters miniature and gigantic people, refined and rational horses and a race of absent-minded immortals. Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is at once an entrancing entertainment and a barbed satire. Accompanying this classic is Swift's infamous, bitingly ironic essay A Modest Proposal.

Autorenporträt

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish author, poet and satirist. He took a degree at the University of Oxford, was ordained a priest and eventually became dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. His fame lies in his writings, most of them under pen names, of which the most celebrated are A Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels. The author's keen imagination, coupled with his mastery of language and irony, made him the most renowned satirist of his age, writing with a fierce power that cut to the core of politics, religion and human nature.
