As Viagens de Gulliver (Clássicos Guerra e Paz Livro 1)
Aqui, encontra-se o mundo. Gulliver, um inocente médico inglês, transforma-se num intrépido viajante. Naufragando em paragens desconhecidas, descobre civilizações fantásticas, excêntricas, mas também a cupidez, a inveja e a intriga. Os velhos vícios da humanidade, satirizados pelo olho cirúrgico de Swift, o grande ironista, numa prosa magnífica.
Mas nem só de sátira vive a literatura. A literatura é também sonho e imaginação. E isso não falta. Venha conhecer seres minúsculos e gigantes amáveis, ilhas voadoras habitadas por intelectuais absortos, gente que nunca morre, cavalos faladores que cultivam a razão e humanos bestiais; há ainda marinheiros, piratas e até um capitão português.

About the author
Jonathan Swift
5,037 books2,180 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".
