Gulliver's Travels is a book that has been read by the whole world. The great poet Alexander Pope once described it as a book read by all, from Ministers to nursery children. The work is a great example of a world of fantasy. Doctor and captain of many ships, Gulliver the hero arrives on amazing shores, described in four parts. Persons born evil and others drawn into it accidentally - an enquiry into this appears in the book. Lilliputian, Yahoo - these words owe their origins to this book. A cultural revolution itself was triggered in the English language due to the book, which offers fascinating insights.

Autor

Jonathan Swift (30 November 1667 - 19 October 1745) was an Anglo-Irish writer, Anglican cleric and satirist who became the dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, and hence his common sobriquet ""Dean Swift"". His deadpan and ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed ""Swiftian"". He is best remembered for his satirical book Gulliver's Travels (1726). Following the remarkable success of his works, Swift came to be regarded by many as the greatest satirist of the 18th century and one of the foremost prose satirists in the history of English literature. Swift also authored works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), and A Modest Proposal (1729).
