Gulliver`s Travels (Roads Classics)

Lilliput. Laputa. Brobdingnag. Houyhnhnmland. Join ship's surgeon Lemuel Gulliver on his voyage to these fantastic lands, whose inhabitants, whether minute or giant, man or beast, reveal so much about so-called civilized society and the human condition. A masterpiece of satire, this parody on the travel-memoir genre is a vivid, phantasmagorical romp with serious undertones, as Swift's irreverent wit pokes fun at the establishment.

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and cleric. An activist and master of satire, Swift was a prolific writer, and in his later years, he became Dean of St Patrick s Cathedral, Dublin.
