图书简介
Gulliver's Travels is not just a children's storybook. It is a political satire novel that uses fantasy to criticize 18th-century England's political system. The journey of Lemuel Gulliver to different parts of the world, and his observation of the different societies he comes across, criticizes England's society satirically. Jonathan Swift's unique way of presenting the satire is extraordinary, making the novel one of a kind. Each part of the book recounts Gulliver's adventures in different societies such as Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of Houyhnhnms. These societies represent the then English society with its problems relating to politics, economy, morality, and humanity. However, despite the satire, Gulliver's Travels is a delightfully imaginative book that provides a kaleidoscope of fantastic experiences to its readers. Written in simple language, even children can read it and enjoy the story. Gulliver's Travels is not just a lightweight book; rather, it is an embodiment of Swift's personality, full of sharp and elaborate ideas, and a brilliant interpretation of the political arena of his time.
