Gulliver's Travels: with 72 Illustrations and Photos. Plus, a Free Online Audio File.
By Jonathan Swift
Gulliver's Travels, is a novel that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travelers' tales" literary sub-genre. It is widely considered Swift's magnum opus and is his most celebrated work, as well as one of the indisputable classics of English literature.
Published seven years after Daniel Defoe's wildly successful Robinson Crusoe, Gulliver's Travels may be read as a systematic rebuttal of Defoe's optimistic account of human capability.
It's a satirical view of the state of European government, and of petty differences between religions.
It can be viewed as an inquiry into whether men are inherently corrupt or whether they become corrupted.
A restatement of the older "ancients versus moderns" controversy.
Although it was by no means intended for them, the book was soon appropriated by the children, who have ever since continued to regard it as one of the most delightful of their story books.
Highlights of this edition are:
• A free online audio file of the complete book. (Downloadable).
• 72 illustrations and photos.
• It is formatted for ease of use and enjoyment on your nook reader.
• An active (easy to use) Table of Contents listing every chapter accessible from the nook "go to" feature.
