Gulliver's Travels illustrated by Arthur Rackham by Jonathan Swift Pdf

This carefully crafted ebook: "Gulliver's Travels illustrated by Arthur Rackham" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Gulliver's Travels (Original title - Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships), a misanthropic satire of humanity, was written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. Like many other authors, Swift uses the journey as the backdrop for his satire. He invents a second author, Captain Lemuel Gulliver, who because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage. Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) was an Anglo-Irish poet, writer and cleric who gained reputation as a great political writer and an essayist. Jonathan, who became Dean of St. Patrick's in Dublin, is also known for his excellence in satire. His most remembered works include Gulliver's Travels, A modest Proposal, An Argument against Abolishing Christianity and A Tale of a Tub.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Pdf

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

Gulliver's Travels: Unabridged & Enhanced with 12 Colour Plates and 78 Line Drawings from the Golden Age of Children's Book Illustration. by Jonathan Swift Pdf

'Gulliver's Travels' is now best known as a tale to delight children. And indeed, Jonathan Swift's story of Lemuel Gulliver and his adventures among tiny people, great giants, flying islands and talking horses is the very stuff of fairy tales. It has charmed the hearts of youngsters for over 300 years and been reprised in numerous books, cartoons and film. But the book has a darker, and much more serious side. Swift conceived the tale as a satire on the human condition and political corruption, and published the book anonymously for fear of reprisals. Each of Gulliver's four voyages allows the author to expose and ridicule some aspect of human behavior, from the futility of war in Lilliput, through the imperfect wisdom of the giant Brobdingnagians and flawed science of Laputa to the perfect society of the Houyhnhnms, speaking horses who Swift contrasts with the degraded human Yahoos living among them. On his return to England, Gulliver is repulsed by his fellow men and sees them as little more civilized than Yahoos, guilty of, in his view, the worse vice of all - pride. Aziloth Book's new, unabridged edition includes 12 colour plates by Arthur Rackham and 78 delicate, humourous line drawings by C. E. Brock, allowing 'Gulliver's Travels' to be enjoyed both for its fairy-tale quality and its bitingly deep insights into the frailty of the human condition.
