Jonathan Swift is an Irish writer, political critic, and clergyman. He published many books and literature, the most important and most famous of which was "Gulliver's Travels", which includes four parts.
Jonathan Swift, one of the first critics of the English language, was a noted political writer, poet, and clergyman. He was born in Ireland and lost his father at an early age to be taken care of by his uncle.
With the beginnings of the glorious revolution in Ireland he was forced to emigrate to England, where he worked with Sir William Temple and got to experience a life of luxury and power. At a young age, he often moved between Ireland and England, and Swift entered the Church of Ireland at the same time as his poor cousin in the Church of England.
When he returned to Ireland he held the position of Dean of Saints at Patrick's Cathedral and continued to do so until his death. As a writer, he wrote most of his works under pseudonyms, and today we mention his best satirical prose work, Gulliver's Travels.
Gulliver's Travels, his most famous work, was first published on September 28, 1726 and modified in 1735, and it is considered a classic English literature, and many were mistaken in thinking that it was a children's book and in fact it was satirical prose. He mocks not only British policy against the Irish but also the oppression of the poor.|Swift lived for a long time in Trim, and a frequent satirical festival called the Trim Swift Festival was held.

Book Description

Gulliver's Travels pdf by Jonathan Swift

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver's Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin.
