«Los viajes de Gulliver» is the adventure novel by Jonathan Swift, published by Club Internacional del Libro in hardback (350 pages, in Spanish).
The surgeon and navigator Lemuel Gulliver recounts his travels to imaginary lands, where he encounters Lilliputians, giants, a flying island and rational horses. What seems like an adventure narrative is in fact a scathing satire of the politics, science and English customs of his time, through which Swift portrays the flaws of the human condition.
Work originally published in 1726; this edition is part of the Grandes Genios de la Literatura Universal collection, number 36.
Recommended for readers seeking a classic of social satire and for those who enjoy classic adventures in world literature.
Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish writer, essayist, satirist, and Anglican cleric. He was the author of the satirical prose novel Gulliver's Travels (1726) and the creator of the fictional island of Lilliput. He is regarded by many as the greatest satirist of the Georgian era and one of the foremost prose authors in the history of English and world literature.
