Summary

Unique to this title is a study of the themes present in Gulliver’s Travels.

You may of course skip it and go straight to the main title if you do not want any spoilers and come back later to the beginning.

Jonathan Swift was a 17-th century Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, poet, and cleric. He was also a dean of St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin. Swift had a unique writing style which many still don't know what to think about. On the one hand, he is regarded as the best prose satirist in the English language, on the other, because of his provocative writing, some considered him a monster.

Gulliver's Travels is an adventure story (in reality, a misadventure story) involving several voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, 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.
