Sinossi
È difficile trovare nella letteratura occidentale una condanna dell’intera umanità paragonabile a quella contenuta nel capolavoro di Swift. I quattro libri che compongono il romanzo, pubblicato anonimo nel 1726, sono il resoconto di altrettanti viaggi immaginari compiuti dal protagonista, Lemuel Gulliver, medico di bordo nella flotta britannica. Le sue paradossali esperienze a contatto con mondi straordinari popolati da esseri viventi dalle proporzioni o dalle abitudini inconsuete offrono lo spunto per una critica radicale delle istituzioni e dei comportamenti umani. La satira crudele di Swift prende di mira tutti i valori del mondo occidentale – dalla religione alla scienza, dalla politica alla cultura – fino a minacciarne le radici stesse. Ma il genio dell’autore ha dato a quest’opera amara, costruita come un prodigioso giocattolo meccanico, un assoluto equilibrio d’insieme: il suo terribile significato allegorico è accessibile solo a chi può e vuole intenderlo, e non va mai a scapito della perfezione narrativa e della felicità di invenzione che ne hanno decretato la fortuna anche come libro di amena lettura e addirittura, con opportuni tagli, anche come classico per l’infanzia.

Let’s face it…. Jonathan Swift was a snarky , snarky bitch . Gulliver’s Travels is like a giant pimp slap across the human race face and I am so glad I finally read this in a non-school , non-structured environment because I had a whole lot more fun with it this time around. Swift’s wit, insight an Leggi tutto
Okay, I didn't finish this sucker. It was poor. I was kind of shocked. I was thinking why does no one point out that this is a giant rip off of Honey I Shrunk the Kids and Honey I Blew Up the Kid? It's painfully obvious. I don't see why this Danial Defoe mope has not had his ass sued, maybe he avoid Leggi tutto

"And he gave it for his opinion, "that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together." I don't thin
Oh man. This book was sheer torture. The writing was dry and bland and boring. Swift had some really interesting ideas - An island of people no larger than your finger. Another island with people that are 60 feet tall. A floating island, an island of scientists, the island of Yahoos...but the executi Leggi tutto
This was my favorite required reading in high school (well, actually, probably tied with Animal Farm). It was a very pleasant and unexpected surprise. The reference points I had were cartoon retellings of this from my youth. I only really had an image of Gulliver vs the Lilliputians - and that was o Leggi tutto
Jonathan Swift (1667 – 1745) writes towards the end of his book: ...an author perfectly blameless, against whom the tribe of answerers, considerers, observers, reflecters, detecters, remarkers, will never be able to find matter for exercising their talents. Had Swift known GR he would probably hav Leggi tutto
“Los viajes de Gulliver” es del tipo de libros que podrían agruparse con otros relatos de viajes para ser leídos en cadena, puesto que las experiencias que se narran en ellos en general son afines entre sí. Por la naturaleza de lo que sucede en él, se pueden establecer relaciones entre éste libro y “ Leggi tutto
Everyone remembers poor Gulliver in breeches and three-cornered hat, pinned down with cords on a beach, by an army of minute soldiers. A young boy’s nightmare, no doubt, but there is much more to this book than this rosy image, reproduced endlessly on the pediments of toy shops and theme parks. This Leggi tutto
