About this ebook

Gulliver — personagem de fábula que salta da imaginação e da pena do seu inventor Jonathan Swift — conta-nos minuciosamente as espantosas aventuras que lhe vão acontecendo quando, através de um mundo como que mitológico, ele vai encontrando e conhecendo os habitantes e a maneira de viver dos países-miniatura de Lilipute e Blefuscu, do domínio dos Brobdingrag ou dos gigantes, da ilha suspensa e giratória de Lapúcia, da Academia dos Balnibarbos, da terra dos Yahús e dos Huyhnhnms, entre outros. Agradando às crianças, pelo que de ação e diversão contém, este livro é de um raro interesse também para os adultos, que logo verificarão tratar-se de uma obra extraordinariamente arrojada tanto em relação ao tempo em que foi escrita (1726), como em relação ao nosso próprio tempo.
É uma violenta sátira à sociedade de todas as épocas, aos preconceitos e leis que regem os homens, e de que tantas vezes eles se não apercebem.

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.
