About this ebook
Gullivers Reisen Jonathan Swift - Jonathan Swifts 'Gullivers Reisen' gilt vielen Lesern noch immer als Kinderbuch zahllose speziell gekürzte Ausgaben haben diesen falschen Eindruck noch befördert. Die Originalfassung aber ist eine überaus scharfzüngige Gesellschaftssatire, in der Swift virtuos mit verschiedenen literarischen Stilen spielt und äußerst originell Ausschnitte der Lebenswirklichkeit seiner Zeit mit phantastisch-märchenhaften Motiven vermengt. Die sagenhaften Gestalten, denen Gulliver auf seinen abenteuerlichen Reisen begegnet, werden für immer unvergesslich bleiben.
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.
