Bøger af Jonathan Swift

Dette er den uforkortede udgave af ‘Gullivers rejser’, som bærer den fulde titel: ‘Rejser til adskillige af verdens fjerne nationer. I fire dele. Af Lemuel Gulliver, først kirurg, så kaptajn på adskillige skibe.’ Gulliver skylles op på stranden efter et skibsforlis, men finder sig selv fanget af lilliputterne, og det bliver startskuddet til en lang og sælsom rejse, der blandt andet bringer den eventyrlystne kaptajn fra Lilliput til kæmpernes land, til Japan og til de talende hestes land. Jonathan Swift regnes for en Storbritanniens største satirikere, og ‘Gullivers rejser’ er ikke bare en af 1700-tallets mest gribende historiefortællinger, men også et filosofisk tidsbillede og en revsende samfundskritik. En klassiker, der stadig holder!

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

Gulliver tror først, at han drømmer, da han vågner i landet Lilliput. For at overleve må han lære at begå sig som en kæmpe blandt lilliputterne. Han kommer ud for mange eventyr og forunderlige oplevelser, også da han kommer til kæmpernes land.

Jonathan Swifts roman om Kaptajn Gullivers rejser blev straks ved udgivelsens en stor succes - her er hans beretning om rejsen til Lilliput (på dansk fejlagtigt ”lilleput”).Bogen begynder med en meget kort indledning, hvor Lemuel Gulliver , i stil med bøger fra den tid, giver en kort oversigt over hans liv og historie, før han rejser. Under sin første rejse, er Gulliver skyllet i land efter et skibbrud og befinder sig som fange hos en race af mennesker, der er mindre end 6 cm høje. Efter at have givet forsikringer om sin gode opførsel, får han en opholdstilladelse i Lilliput og bliver en respekteret person i samfundet.
