Shipwrecked and cast into strange lands, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself at the mercy of extraordinary societies that defy his understanding of the world. In Lilliput, he towers over a nation of tiny people whose petty rivalries mirror the absurdities of politics. In Brobdingnag, he is reduced to the size of an insect among towering giants, forced to confront human weakness from a new perspective. Each voyage-whether to lands of philosophers, fools, or noble horses-becomes a mirror reflecting the follies and contradictions of human nature. First published in 1726, Gulliver's Travels is far more than an imaginative adventure. Jonathan Swift crafted one of literature's sharpest satires, skewering the politics, science, and society of 18th-century Europe. Beneath its fantastical surface lies a critique of power, pride, and corruption that remains as biting today as when it was written. Its influence endures, shaping satire, political commentary, and storytelling across centuries.

Autor

Jonathan Swift, born in 1667 in Dublin, was a master satirist and influential writer. Raised by relatives after his father's death, Swift attended Trinity College, Dublin, before moving to England, where he worked for Sir William Temple. His early experiences shaped his sharp political insights, leading him to become a prominent satirical voice of the 18th century.Swift's biting wit is best showcased in works like Gulliver's Travels and A Modest Proposal, where he used fiction and irony to critique politics, society, and human nature. His powerful satire and deadpan style, often termed ""Swiftian,"" had a profound influence on both literature and political thought.He spent much of his later life as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin, where he continued to write, criticize, and advocate for Irish causes. His works remain iconic, and Swift is celebrated as one of the greatest prose satirists in the English language .
