    About this ebook

    A keystone of English literature, "Gulliver’s Travels" was one of the books that gave birth to the novel form, though it did not yet have the rules of the genre as an organizing tool. A parody of the then popular travel narrative, "Gulliver’s Travels" combines adventure with savage satire, mocking English customs and the politics of the day.

    Jonathan Swift’s masterpiece was originally published in 1726 without its author’s name under the title "Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World." This work, which is told in Gulliver’s “own words,” is the most brilliant as well as the most bitter and controversial of his satires.

    Jonathan Swift

    Jonathan Swift was born in Dublin in 1667. Although he spent most of his childhood in Ireland, he considered himself English, and, aged twenty-one, moved to England, where he found employment as secretary to the diplomat Sir William Temple. On Temple's death in 1699, Swift returned to Dublin to pursue a career in the Church. By this time he was also publishing in a variety of genres, and between 1704 and 1729 he produced a string of brilliant satires, of which Gulliver's Travels is the best known. Between 1713 and 1742 he was Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin; he was buried there when he died in 1745.
