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
Easy listening
The narrator enunciates each word so clearly and slowly that this is an exceptionally good version for student or hard-of-hearing listeners. (Listen to the preview for a fair example.) On the downside, the measured pace and breathy lack of expression was more like listening to a dictation than a story.
One warning: the narration begins at Chapter 1 and omits the “letter from the publisher to the reader” and the “letter from Captain Gulliver to his cousin.”
Brilliant!
Not only is the story captivating, it is utterly disturbing with a true portayal of human kinds vile, degrading filth. This is perfectly crafted and read wonderfully. Paul Albertson has a powerful voice which draws the listener in, never wanting to return to daily life. I must have more!
