SOBRE O AUTOR

Jonathan Swift

Escritor irlandês. Nasceu em 1667 e faleceu em 1745. Estudou na Universidade de Dublin, doutorando-se em Teologia em 1694. Sempre observando as grandes correntes políticas da época, publicou o seu primeiro panfleto de intervenção em 1701. Sentindo-se cada vez mais atraído pela política, tornou-se um conselheiro escutado por todos e ocupou-se activamente de política externa. Em 1713, foi nomeado Deão da Catedral de S. Patrício, em Dublin. A sua obra é vastíssima, entre textos de intervenção, sátiras, ficção e poemas, destacando-se A Tale of the Tub (1704), The Public Spirit of the Whigs (1714), Drapier's Letters (1724-1725) e Gulliver's Travels (As Viagens de Gulliver,1726).
