Los viajes de Gulliver
Lemuel Gulliver es el médico de un barco, que realiza unas travesías un tanto... ¡sorprendentes! Tras un grave naufragio, llega a la famosa isla de Lilliput, donde se ve atado por una red como si fuera un pez. Lo extraño del asunto es que quienes lo han atado son diminutos, ¡apenas miden 15 cm de altura! Más adelante, de nuevo embarcado, una terrible tormenta dejará a nuestro héroe en las playas de Brobdingnag, habitadas por personas gigantescas que lo tratan como a una mascota. A esta aventura le sigue una tercera incursión por una isla habitada por... científicos sin ningún sentido práctico y por otra en la que incluso conoce a Julio César. En su último viaje, por fin, llegará a la tierra de los caballos y los yahoos, seres primitivos incapaces de razonar, porque ahí son los animales quienes tienen conciencia. ¿El mundo al revés?

About the author
Jonathan Swift
4,948 books2,291 followersJonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, author, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for the Whigs, then for the Tories), poet, and Anglican cleric who became Dean of St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, hence his common sobriquet, "Dean Swift".
Swift is remembered for works such as A Tale of a Tub (1704), An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity (1712), Gulliver's Travels (1726), and A Modest Proposal (1729). He is regarded by the Encyclopædia Britannica as the foremost prose satirist in the English language. He originally published all of his works under pseudonyms—such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier—or anonymously. He was a master of two styles of satire, the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
His deadpan, ironic writing style, particularly in A Modest Proposal, has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".
