About this ebook
Gullivers Reisen Jonathan Swift - Gullivers Reisen nach Lilliput und zu den Riesen kennt jedes Kind. Und doch ist Swifts Fantasy-Saga vor allem ein eindrucksvolles Leseabenteuer für Erwachsene tiefsinnig, amüsant, subversiv und desillusionierend , eine zeitlos gültige Generalabrechnung mit menschlicher Dummheit und Selbstüberschätzung, ja eine besonders frühe Form der Polit-Satire: Die mit unerschöpflicher Fabulierlust bis ins Detail realistisch gestalteten Erlebnisse Gullivers in fremden Reichen sind gespickt mit polemischen Seitenhieben auf Staat, Kirche oder Rechtswesen.Ein Klassiker, wie er gegenwärtiger gar nicht sein könnte!
About the author
Jonathan Swift (November 30, 1667 October 19, 1745) was an Irish cleric, satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for Whigs then for Tories), and poet, famous for works like Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella, The Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, although he is less well known for his poetry. Swift published all of his works under pseudonyms such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of 2 styles of satire; the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.
