Bücher von Jonathan Swift

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

""Gulliver's Travels"" is a timeless satirical novel written by Jonathan Swift, celebrated for its wit, imagination, and biting social commentary. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who embarks on a series of extraordinary voyages to distant lands. In each of these lands, Gulliver encounters fantastical creatures, peculiar customs, and absurd societies, offering Swift a platform to critique various aspects of 18th-century European society, politics, and human nature. From the miniature inhabitants of Lilliput to the towering Brobdingnagians, and from the rational Houyhnhnms to the savage Yahoos, Gulliver's encounters reveal the follies, vices, and hypocrisies of humanity. Through its engaging narrative and thought-provoking allegory, ""Gulliver's Travels"" offers readers a profound exploration of power, corruption, morality, and the essence of humanity itself, making it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers of all ages.

"A Tale of a Tub" is a satirical work written by Jonathan Swift, published in 1704. It consists of three main sections. The first section tells an allegorical story about three brothers, Peter, Martin, and Jack, symbolizing different branches of Christianity. Through their adventures, Swift satirizes religious extremism and doctrinal disputes. The second section includes a series of essays and satirical asides addressing various topics like literature, politics, science, and religion, satirizing the intellectual and moral climate of the era. The third section critiques philosophical and scientific reasoning, particularly the mechanical philosophy of the Enlightenment. Swift employs wit, irony, and sharp criticism throughout the book to challenge religious and intellectual institutions of the time. "A Tale of a Tub" is known for its complex and intricate prose, making it a work often studied by scholars and literary enthusiasts interested in satire and intellectual commentary.

Les voyages de Gulliver, également connus sous le nom de Voyages dans plusieurs nations lointaines du monde, en quatre sections. Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and Then a Captain of Several Ships est une satire prose de 1726 de l'écrivain anglo-irlandais Jonathan Swift qui satirise à la fois la nature humaine et le sous-genre littéraire des contes de voyageurs . Il s'agit de l'¿uvre la plus connue de Swift et d'un classique de la littérature anglaise. Swift a affirmé qu'il a écrit Gulliver's Travels "pour gêner plutôt que détourner le monde." Le livre fut un succès instantané. Il est lu universellement, du conseil du cabinet à la crèche , a déclaré le dramaturge anglais John Gay. En 2015, Robert McCrum a publié sa liste des 100 meilleurs romans de tous les temps, qualifiant Gulliver's Travels d'un chef-d'¿uvre satirique . Le voyage commence par un bref préambule dans lequel Lemuel Gulliver décrit sa vie et son histoire avant ses voyages. Gulliver est lavé à terre après un naufrage lors de son premier voyage et devient prisonnier d'une race de gens minuscules, de moins de 6 pouces (15 cm) de haut, qui vivent sur l'île de Lilliput.

In four sections, Gulliver's Travels, also known as Journeys into Several Remote Nations of the World, Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and Then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift that satirizes human nature and the "travelers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and an English literature classic. Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex rather than divert the world." The book was an instant success. "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery," English dramatist John Gay said. In 2015, Robert McCrum released his list of the 100 best novels of all time, calling Gulliver's Travels a "satirical masterpiece." The journey begins with a brief preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver describes his life and history before his voyages. Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck on his first voyage and becomes a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall, who live on the island country of Lilliput. On October 28, 1726, the first edition was published in two volumes for 8s. 6d. Motte published Gulliver's Travels anonymously, and several sequels (Memoirs of the Court of Lilliput...), parodies (Two Lilliputian Odes, The First on the Famous Engine With Which Captain Gulliver Extinguished the Palace Fire...), and "keys" (Gulliver Decipher'd and Lemuel Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World Compendiously Method) were mostly published anonymously (or pseudonymously) and quickly forgotten. Swift had nothing to do with them and renounced them in Faulkner's 1735 edition. Swift's friend Alexander Pope wrote five verses on Gulliver's Travels that Swift liked so much that he included them in the book's second edition, though they are rarely included. In 1735, an Irish publisher named George Faulkner published a collection of Swift's works, Volume III, including Gulliver's Travels.
