    Jonathan Swift

    Born in 1667, Jonathan Swift was an Irish writer and cleric, best known for his works Gulliver’s Travels, A Modest Proposal, and A Journal to Stella, amongst many others. Educated at Trinity College in Dublin, Swift received his Doctor of Divinity in February 1702, and eventually became Dean of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Dublin. Publishing under the names of Lemeul Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, and M. B. Drapier, Swift was a prolific writer who, in addition to his prose works, composed poetry, essays, and political pamphlets for both the Whigs and the Tories, and is considered to be one of the foremost English-language satirists, mastering both the Horatian and Juvenalian styles. Swift died in 1745, leaving the bulk of his fortune to found St. Patrick’s Hospital for Imbeciles, a hospital for the mentally ill, which continues to operate as a psychiatric hospital today.

      Jonathan Swift's work was published in 1726 to great success. His tale of Gulliver was meant as a political satire of the British Empire.In this abbreviated illustrated book, we learn of Doctor Lemuel Gulliver who sets sail as a doctor abroad a ship headed for the South Pacific. When the ship sank during a tempest torn storm, Gulliver awoke to hundreds of little men who had tied him with many strings. When he tried to move and free himself, he was shot the the face and hand by tiny arrows. Gradually obtaining the trust of the Lilliput community, he was set free. In doing so, he was able to see that the nearby island community of Biefescu was about to sail and attempt to conquer Lilliput. The small people asked his capture and kill the Biefescu emperor and people should they resist. Gulliver agreed to thwart their plans, but would not kill them, whereupon he was labeled a traitor. He was successful in quelling the planned invasion, but again sustained hundreds of painful arrows aimed at his eyes and head. While away, he learned that some leaders of Lilliput were determined to put him to death.He captured one of the larger Blefescan warships and sailed away. He took a number of tiny horses, goats and cows as proof of visiting lands of tiny people. If you, like me, have a great interest in art and appreciate and love detail, I believe you will truly enjoy this magnificent illustrated book.
