Adventures of Gulliver in the Lands of Lilliput by Jonathan Swift

Beschreibung

The tale of Lemuel Gulliver, a pragmatic disapproving Englishman, decides to go on a voyage and describe his experiences upon it. His adventure in the Lilliput begins after his shipwreck when he gains consciousness and was tied with tiny strings. Lilliputians being brave and fiercely protective of their kingdom are not afraid to attack the gigantic hostage with their pinprick arrows. Nevertheless, the Lilliputians extend their hospitality towards the hostage by feeding him which costs them near to famine for their land. Gulliver's experience of this voyage turns bizarre when he sets the kingdom to fire. Gulliver manages to escape the kingdom somehow by fixing his boat. But the adventure is not over yet. The book is a paperback book with well-arranged illustrations and optimized for a relaxed and enjoyable reading experience. Happy Reading!.

Autor

Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric. He rose to the position of dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, earning him the moniker "Dean Swift." He lived from 30 November 1667 to 19 October 1745. A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal are among Swift's best-known writings (1729). He first published all of his works anonymously or using aliases, such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier. He was a master of the Horatian and Juvenalian satirical genres. His writing is deadpan and sardonic, especially in "A Modest Proposal", which is why such satire has come to be known as "Swiftian." On November 30, 1667, in Dublin, in the Kingdom of Ireland, Jonathan Swift was born. He was the only son and the second child of Frisby on the Wreake residents Jonathan Swift (1640-1667) and Abigail Erick (or Herrick). After 1700, Swift lived in Trim, County Meath. Many of his works were written by him at this time. Swift graduated with a Doctor of Divinity degree from Trinity College Dublin in February 1702.
