DailyBookQuote : 01Apr13 Jonathan Swift - Gullivers Travels




-          Jonathan Swift (Nov 30, 1667 – Poct 19, 1745)

-          Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels
Considered one of English literature’s first and greatest satirists, Jonathan Swift possessed a timeless genius for pointing out the foibles of human nature that still has the power to provoke, amuse, and, at times, even outrage our modern sensibilities. This representative collection of Swift’s major writings includes the complete Gulliver’s Travels as well as A Tale of a Tub, “The Battle of the Books,” “A Modest Proposal,” “An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity,” “The Bickerstaff Papers,” and many more of his brilliantly satirical works.  Swift’s savage ridicule, corrosive wit, and sparkling humor are fully displayed in this comprehensive collection
