Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
The misadventures of Lemuel Gulliver certainly are extraordinary. First he is shipwrecked in a strange land, and finds himself a prisoner of the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput. Then he washes up in Brobdingnag, where the people are giants of extraordinary proportions. Further exploits see him stranded with the scientists and philosophers of Laputa, and meeting a race of talking horses who rule over bestial humans. One of the finest satires in the English language, Gulliver's Travels delights in the mockery of everything from government to religion and - despite the passing of nearly three centuries - remains just as funny and relevant today. This gorgeous Macmillan Collector's Library edition of Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels features the beautiful artwork of the celebrated English illustrator Arthur Rackham, and an afterword by author and critic, Henry Hitchings. Designed to appeal to the booklover, the Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautiful gift editions of much loved classic titles. Macmillan Collector's Library are books to love and treasure.

Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
Lemuel Gulliver, ship's surgeon and castaway, has awoken in Lilliput, where the size of the tiny inhabitants makes their concerns and quarrels seem ridiculous. A second journey takes him to the kingdom of giants, where again his size gives him new insights into human behaviour. Then, after he is cast adrift by pirates, Gulliver visits a series of islands where learning is misdirected and immortality is only misery. Gulliver's final voyage brings him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, horses with reason, who share their domain with the brutish Yahoos. He returns to England a changed man. Swift's corrosive satire embraces all aspects of humanity. It is witty when dealing with foibles and frailty, bitterly angry when facing pride and stupidity, but compassionate and unsentimental when focused upon suffering.

Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
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 work, A Tale of a Tub (1704), an irreverent take on religious excess, was followed by The Battle of the Books (1704) and a 1711 pamphlet attacking the Whig government. Swift's political activities had an adverse effect on his livelihood, and in 1713, he returned to Ireland. There he produced his finest writing, including Gulliver's Travels. Presented as the work of Lemuel Gulliver, an adventurer, this unique blending of satire and parody was originally published under the title Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World (1726). The novel was followed by A Modest Proposal (1729), in which it is famously argued that the poor might do well in selling their children as food for the rich. Swift's final decade was marred by poor health; he produced little and died on 19 October 1745. Herbert Cole (1867-1930) was an English portraitist and book illustrator. Cole's illustrations for Gulliver's Travels first appeared in a 1900 edition published by J. M. Dent.

Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
A shipwreck brings Lemuel Gulliver to Lilliput, where he finds himself in a kingdom of tiny people. This experience is later reversed when he lands among the giants of Brobdingnag. And yet more contrasts lie in store for him between the Houyhnhnms - a race of noble horses - and the savage sub-human Yahoos. Gulliver's Travels has not been out of print since its publication in 1726. Readers, 'from the cabinet council to the nursery', have enjoyed Swift's fusion of fantasy and reality on many levels. While politics and religion are prime targets for his satire, he also holds a mocking mirror to human nature in general.

Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
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 irreverent wit, and its attack on political and financial corruption, as well as abuses in science, continue to resonate in our own times.

Swift's savage satire view mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

Swift Jonathan Gulliver's Travels
Shipwrecked on the high seas, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself washed up on the strange island of Lilliput, a land inhabited by quarrelsome miniature people. On his travels he continues to meet others who force him to reflect on human behaviour - the giants of Brobdingnag, the Houyhnhnms and the Yahoos.
