Jede seiner Reisen bringt Gulliver in seltsame Länder mit noch seltsameren Bewohnern: Menschen, die kleiner sind als sein Daumen und Riesen, die ihn erdrücken könnten. Er entdeckt Inseln, die im Himmel schweben und Orte, an denen sich Pferde zivilisierter verhalten als Menschen. Schon bald lernt Gulliver, dass es unzählige verschiedene Arten gibt zu leben. Er versteht schließlich auch, dass das was wir als gut empfinden, nicht immer die einzig richtige Alternative ist.

The voyages of an Englishman carry him to such strange places as Lilliput, where people are six inches tall; Brobdingnag, a land of giants; and a country ruled by horses.

The originality, concentrated power and ‘fierce indignation’ of his satirical writing have earned Jonathan Swift a reputation as the greatest prose satirist in English literature. Gulliver’s Travels is, of course, his world renowned masterpiece in the genre; however, Swift wrote other, shorter works that also offer excellent evidence of his inspired lampoonery. Perhaps the most famous of these is A Modest Proposal, in which he straight-facedly suggests that Ireland could solve its hunger problems by using its children for food. Also included in this collection are The Battle of Books, A Meditation upon a Broomstick, A Discourse Concerning the Mechanical Operations of the Spirit and An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity in England.This inexpensive edition will certainly be welcomed by teachers and students of English literature, but its appeal extends to any reader who delights in watching a master satirist wield words as weapons.

La verde e tormentata terra d’Irlanda è patria di alcuni dei più importanti scrittori della letteratura. Jonathan Swift, con la sua ironia sferzante, descrive nei Viaggi di Gulliver le assurdità dell’Europa settecentesca attraverso le immaginarie popolazioni di Lilliput e Brobdingnag. Sterne, con il suo Viaggio sentimentale, rompe le regole della narrativa tradizionale, concentrandosi sulle sensazioni interiori piuttosto che su paesaggi e personaggi. Con Le Fanu, entriamo nel filone ottocentesco che esplora gli aspetti più oscuri dell’esperienza umana, dando vita a capolavori del terrore come Carmilla e Dracula. Oscar Wilde, poeta geniale e sfortunato, narra la storia di Dorian Gray, un mostro dalla giovinezza sospetta. Al contrario, Yeats ci offre un mondo incantato, popolato da elfi e fantasmi, presentando una panoramica del folclore irlandese. Infine, James Joyce, con il suo capolavoro Ulisse, ha avuto un ruolo cruciale nella nascita della letteratura moderna. Attraverso il realismo minuzioso delle quindici storie di Gente di Dublino, Joyce ha elevato il racconto breve a un nuovo livello artistico, rendendolo il genere letterario più moderno.

Schnell stellt sich heraus, dass der Grund dafür die fliegende Insel Laputa ist, deren Bewohner gar seltsame Bräuche pflegen… »Gullivers Reisen« in die Länder der winzigen Liliputaner und der Riesen von Brobdingnag sind weltbekannt, doch waren seine Abenteuer damit noch lange nicht zu Ende: Von den monströsen Herrschern Laputas über die Sprachgelehrten von Lagado zu den Geisterbeschwörern von Glubbdubdrib ersann Jonathan Swift noch zahlreiche Abenteuer, die auf fantasievolle Weise Eigenheiten der modernen Gesellschaft aufgreifen. Dieser Comic adaptiert den dritten Teil von »Gullivers Reisen« mit viel Humor und in eindrucksvollen Bildern.

Quand il débarque à Lilliput, Gulliver apparaît comme un géant au milieu de Pygmées hautement civilisés de quinze centimètres. A la terreur et à la stupeur succèdent une intelligence mutuelle et une entraide qui motivent, avant que la situation ne se gâte, la longue escale du héros... A la parution de ce conte corrosif, le succès fut immédiat : les contemporains ne manquèrent de lire entre les lignes la satire de la cour d'Angleterre que proposait Swift. Il ne se démentit jamais par la suite, car l'auteur avant tout y raconte une simple et universelle histoire, l'une des plus belles utopies de la littérature.

Comment résoudre les problèmes de surnatalité et de famine de l'Irlande ? En suivant la "Modeste proposition" de Jonathan Swift (1667-1745). "J'ai connu à Londres un Américain fort compétent, lequel m'a révélé qu'un bébé sain et bien nourri constitue à l'âge d'un an un plat délicieux, riche en calories et hygiénique, qu'il soit préparé à l'étouffée, à la broche, au four ou en pot-au-feu et j'ai tout lieu de croire qu'il fournit de même d'excellents fricassées et ragoûts". Entre éclats de rire féroces et compassion pour les plus démunis, quatre essais à l'humour noir décapant, redoutable antidote à toute langue de bois, par l'un des plus grands satiristes irlandais du XVIIIe siècle.

Hier zeigt sich Swifts Engagement für die Verbesserung der Gesellschaft und seine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit den politischen Strukturen seiner Zeit. Band 3 enthält "Gullivers Reisen", ein klassisches Werk der Weltliteratur, das die Abenteuer von Lemuel Gulliver in fantastischen Ländern beschreibt.
