Gulliver's Travels: Based on the 1726 Text, Contexts, Criticism - A Norton Critical Edition
Gulliver's Travels: Based on the 1726 Text, Contexts, Criticism - A Norton Critical Edition

Satirical odyssey through fantastical worlds.

If you’ve got an eye for satire and historical context, "Gulliver's Travels" is a classic you shouldn’t miss. Swift's talent for wit wrapped in a seemingly simple narrative takes you on a profound journey. It’s not just a tale of unusual travels; it's a deep dive into the absurdities of human nature and society. With its rich critical material, this version offers an immersive look at Swift's genius and the era he was critiquing.
