In Gulliver s Travels, the narrator represents himself as a reliable reporter of the fantastic adventures he has just experienced. But how far can we rely on a narrator who has been impersonated by someone else? The work purports to be a travel book, and describes the shipwrecked Gulliver s encounters with the inhabitants of four extraordinary places: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. An extraordinarily skillful blend of fantasy and realism makes Gulliver s Travels by turns hilarious, frightening, and profound. Swift s alter ego plays tricks on us, and our gullibility uncovers one of the world s most disturbing satires of the human condition.The fullest, most uptodate paperback of Gulliver s Travels currently available, this new edition contains an astute analysis of the nature of Swift s satire. It includes the changing frontispiece portraits of Gulliver that appeared in successive early editions and whose subtle changes contribute to the reader s uncertainty about the veracity of the author. A new introduction by Claude Rawson draws on the latest scholarship and considers Swift s roleplaying and the relationship of the author to Gulliver.About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World s Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe.
