One of the unique books of world literature, Swift's masterful satire describes the astonishing voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, to surreal kingdoms inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and scientists, horses endowed with reason and men who behave like beasts. Written with great wit and invention, \u003ci\u003eGulliver's Travels\u003c\/i\u003e is a savage parody on man and his institutions that has captivated readers for nearly three centuries. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs bestselling author and critic Allan Bloom observed: “\u003ci\u003eGulliver's Travels\u003c\/i\u003e is an amazing rhetorical achievement. Swift had not only the judgment with which to arrive at a reasoned view of the world but the fancy by means of which he could re-create that world in a form which teaches where argument fails and which satisfies all while misleading none.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis representative collection of Swift’s major writings includes the complete \u003ci\u003eGulliver’s Travels\u003c\/i\u003e as well as \u003ci\u003eA Tale of a Tub, “The Battle of the Books,” “A Modest Proposal,” “An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity,” “The Bickerstaff Papers,”\u003c\/i\u003e and many more of his brilliantly satirical works. Here too are selections from Swift’s poetry and portions of his Journal to Stella. Swift’s savage ridicule, corrosive wit, and sparkling humor are fully displayed in this comprehensive collection.","brand":"Penguin Random House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51166118183200,"sku":"9780553212327","price":5.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0836\/3661\/7504\/files\/9780553212327.jpg?v=1769709829","url":"https:\/\/creativebysanchez.com\/es\/products\/gullivers-travels-and-other-writings","provider":"Creative By Sanchez","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
