Gullivers Travels

Jonathan Swift
(1667 – 1745)
A famous Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and cleric.
Swift is mostly remembered for Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella and other works. His deadpan, ironic writing style has led to such satire being subsequently termed "Swiftian".
Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, commonly known as Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire both on human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre of the day. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature.
