Description

Jonathan Swift's Travels is a satirical narrative that reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose names have entered the English language. First published in 1726, it is a parody travel-memoir that spares no vested interest from its irreverent wit, and its attack on political and financial corruption, as well as abuses in science, continues to resonate in our own times. The book features extraordinary lands and societies, including the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos in Houyhnhnmland, where talking horses are the dominant species. This irreverent and thought-provoking work remains a relevant commentary on the human condition. Published in 1992, this reprint edition of Jonathan Swift's Travels is a valuable addition to any collection of English literature.
