Publisher Description
Gulliver's Travels is a classic satire on human nature and a parody of the "travelers' tales" literary genre.
Lemuel Gulliver travels to the remote country of Lilliput, where he encounters the six-inch-tall Lilliputians. On his next journey, he is captured by a 60-foot-tall native of Brobdingnag. His next journey takes him to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Glubbdubdrib, and Luggnagg, where he meets a race of people devoted to music and mathematics. On his final journey to the country of the Houyhnhnms, he meets the subhuman race of Yahoo's and the intelligent horses that rule them.
Customer Reviews
Gulliver's Travels (unabridged)
The book is excellent and well written. The reader is clear and very pleasant to listen to. I was however disappointed that it only comprised of the first 2 parts. Even though the write-up said part 1, the description was for the whole book and that is what I expected. I am at a lost to find the other 2 parts to complete the book.
Fascinatingly Classical
A tale of adventure (and a considerable amount of misadventure), self – discovery, and ultimately a book that even after nearly three centuries (293 years and counting) still has lessons that are just as valuable as when Swift first published this book. If nothing else this book shows that learning something new can be just as much of a chance to change oneself for better as a chance to learn that which one would not learn otherwise.
