Gulliver's Travels
by Jonathan Swift
3rd Printing, 1961
With a Foreword by Marcus Cunliffe, Thirty lllustrations by Charles Brock, and Five Maps of Gulliver's Journeys.
Gulliver's Travels is Jonathan Swift's bitter and devastating satire, the fantastic tale of the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, an honest, blunt English ship's surgeon.
His first yoyage is to the land of Lilliput, where the people are only six inches high. His second, by contrast, to the land of Brobdingnag where the people are sixty feet high.
Further adventures bring Gulliver to an island that floals in the sky and to a land where horses are endowed with reason and beasts are shaped like men.
A book that has the rare merit of appealing to both the very mature and the very young, Gulliver's Travels is a brilliant narrative, realistic, profound, terrible; a lascinating fairy tale of marvelous travels; a model of English style and masterly prose.
Pages in unmarked condition. Light staining at bottom of page corners first 2 chapters, and page edges. Cover has some shelf wear, and indentation with closed tear on front at spine. Cover has blemishes and rough, worn spot on back cover.
