'I cannot but conclude the bulk of your natives to be the most pernicious race of little odious vermin that nature ever suffered to crawl upon the surface of the earth.'

Shipwrecked on the high seas, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself washed up on the strange island of Lilliput, a land inhabited by quarrelsome miniature people. On his travels he continues to meet others who force him to reflect on human behaviour - the giants of Brobdingnag, the Houyhnhnms and the Yahoos. In this scathing satire on the politics and morals of the 18th Century, Swift's condemnation of society and its institutions still resonates today.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

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).
