Gulliver's Travels (Illustrated by Milo Winter with an Introduction by George R. Dennis)

A parody of travelerâ€™s tales and a satire of human nature, â€œGulliverâ€™s Travelsâ€ is Jonathan Swiftâ€™s most famous work which was first published in 1726. An immensely popular tale ever since its original publication, â€œGulliverâ€™s Travelsâ€ is the story of its titular character, Lemuel Gulliver, a man who loves to travel. A series of four journeys are detailed in which Gulliver finds himself in a number of amusing and precarious situations. In the first voyage, Gulliver is imprisoned by a race of tiny people, the Lilliputians, when following a shipwreck he is washed upon the shores of their island country. In his second voyage Gulliver finds himself abandoned in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, where he is exhibited for their amusement. In his third voyage, Gulliver once again finds himself marooned; fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics. He subsequently travels to the surrounding lands of Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan. Finally in his last voyage, when he is set adrift by a mutinous crew, he finds himself in the curious Country of the Houyhnhnms. Through the various experiences of Gulliver, Swift brilliantly satirizes the political and cultural environment of his time in addition to creating a lasting and enchanting tale of fantasy. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper, is illustrated by Milo Winter, and includes an introduction by George R. Dennis.
