Sinossi
È la storia del medico Lemuel Gulliver che, naufrago, si ritrova sull'isola di Lilliput dove tutto, a cominciare dagli abitanti, è grande la quindicesima parte delle persone e degli oggetti che conosciamo. Nella seconda parte Gulliver visita Brobdingnag dove invece la proporzione è inversa, diventando lui stesso uno dei giochi della figlia del re. Nella terza parte Gulliver visita Laputa: il continente ha come capitale Lagado e qui la satira si rivolge contro filosofi storici ed inventori. Nell'isola di Glubdubdrib Gulliver evocando le ombre dei grandi dell'antichità scopre i vizi e le meschinità, e presso gli Struldrug immortali, comprende che la massima infelicità degli uomini sarebbe la prospettiva di non porre fine al tedio di vivere. Nella quarta ed ultima parte la semplicità dei cavalli Houyhnhnms è in contrasto con la brutalità degli Yahoo, bestie dall'aspetto umano. Età di lettura: da 9 anni.

Lemuel Gulliver was the first who discovered the theory of relativity: he comprehended that everything in the world is relative therefore while amongst Lilliputians he is a giant, amongst Brobdingnagians he is a midget. Eccentricity excellently stands against the erosion of time – much better than an Leggi tutto
"The rats on board carried away one of my sheep;" "Care and vigilance, with a very common understanding, may preserve a man’s goods from thieves, but honesty has no defence against superior cunning;" It seems that I had a completely incorrect opinion of what Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travel
