"Every man
desires to live long, but no man
wishes to be old."
With an Introduction and Notes by Doreen
Roberts, Rutherford College, University of Kent at Canterbury.
Jonathan
Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years
after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one
of its few rivals in fame and breadth of appeal).
As
a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose
names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of
Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos in Houyhnhnmland, where
talking horses are the dominant species. It spares no vested interest from its
irreverent wit, and its attack on political and financial corruption, as well
as abuses in science, continue to resonate in our own times.
