Gulliver's Travels: A Voyage to Lilliput

"Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a wild series of adventures widely acclaimed as 'universally read' and highly influential. After a shipwreck, an Englishman discovers new, strange lands, and learns of the customs and governments of their inhabitants. This is an opportunity both for absurd humor and political satire, and the story of Lilliput may be the best example of Swift's imagination and wit. Gulliver finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, the Lilliputians; they are no more than 6 inches tall, and he appears a giant to them. Soon afterwards, the spectacular giant becomes a favorite of the court, and is given a good view of the politics of the kingdom. Discover the most famous of Gulliver's travels, train your critical mind and choose your side between Big Endians and Little Endians, for a journey of adventures and laughter, narrated by one of the best storytellers. - -"

The stories are unabridged and have been rewritten for younger audiences. Classic Starts treats the world's beloved tales (and children) with the respect they deserve. Through the eyes of Lemuel Gulliver, Swift's unforgettable satire takes readers into worlds formerly unimagined.

[German] - Gullivers Reisen - Der Abenteuer-Klassiker

"In vier Büchern liefert Jonathan Swift vier fiktive Reiseberichte des englischen Schiffsarztes Lemuel Gulliver. Seine abenteuerlichen Reisen führen ihn auf die Insel Liliput, wo er im Vergleich zu den Einwohnern ein Riese ist und zum Helden wird. Die zweite Reise führt ihn auf die Insel Brobdingnag, und dort ist Gulliver nun der Zwerg zwischen riesenhaften Ureinwohnern, die den Winzling Gulliver als Attraktion bestaunen. Obwohl er viele Gefahren nur knapp überlebt, geht Gulliver erneut auf Reisen und gelangt auf die fliegende Insel Laputa. Hier sind die Einwohner gebildet, aber auf absurde Art unmenschlich. Die letzte Reise schließlich bringt Gulliver zu den Yahoos, äußerst häßlichen Affenwesen, und den Houyhnhnms, noblen Wesen in Pferdegestalt. Letztere nehmen Gulliver leider nicht bei sich auf, und so kehrt er zurück nach England...  Die Phantasie-Orte und ihre absurden Bevölkerungen benutzt Swift, um der englischen Politik und Gesellschaft 'auf Umwegen' den Spiegel vorzuhalten. Korrupte Politiker, größenwahnsinnige Staatsoberhäupter, weltfremde Wissenschaftler, aber auch die unappetitlicheren Seiten der 'ganz normalen' Menschen werden hier schonungslos vorgeführt. Jonathan Swift, heute als exzellenter Satiriker gefeiert, wurde für seine beißende Gesellschaftskritik von einigen Zeitgenossen heftig angegriffen.-"

Gulliver’s Travels

"Gulliver had always wanted to see the world. But whenever he steps on board a ship, bad luck always seems near at hand. He is shipwrecked, abandoned, marooned and mutinied against—and each time lands in a strange and curious place. First he discovers the kingdom of the small people of Lilliput, whose height make their petty quarrels seem ridiculous. Gulliver then encounters the giants of Brobdingnag, who are amazed by how tiny he is, and treat him like a pampered pet. But his smallness leads him into many dangers, and he longs to escape and make his way home. Will he ever see England again?"

Gulliver's Travels

"Part I : A Voyage to Lilliput and Blefuscu - Gulliver enjoys traveling, although it is this love of travel that is his downfall. His adventure sets off in Lilliput, when after a shipwreck, he wakes up, finding himself a prisoner of a race of people one - twelfth the size of normal human beings. However, his adventure among the small people does not last long, when he has to escape the city as he is charged with treason. Part II: A Voyage to Brobdingnag - This time around Gulliver finds himself in the land of the giants, and he is one - twelfth their size. The people of Brobdingnag, find Gulliver amusing, as he is really small as compared to them, and exhibit Gulliver for money. However, Gulliver soon finds himself in the middle of the sea again, when a giant eagle seizes him and drops him right into the sea where he is picked up by some sailors. Part III: A Voyage to Laputa, Balnibarbi, Luggnagg, Glubbdubdrib, and Japan - After Gulliver's ship is attacked by pirates, he is marooned close to a desolate rocky island, near India. Fortunately he is rescued by the flying island of Laputa, a kingdom devoted to the arts of music and mathematics but unable to use them for practical ends. Gulliver is then taken to Balnibarbi to await a Dutch trader who can take him on to Japan. While waiting for passage, Gulliver takes a short side-trip to the island of Glubbdubdrib, where he visits a magician's dwelling and discusses history with the ghosts of historical figures. When Gulliver finally returns home, he is determined to stay there for the rest of his days. Part IV: A Voyage to the Country of the Houyhnhnms - Despite his earlier intention of remaining at home, Gulliver returns to the sea as the captain of a merchantman. However, as expected he lands himself into trouble, and he comes first upon a race of (apparently) hideous deformed and savage humanoid creatures called Yahoos, who are ruled by a race of horses called Houyhnhms. Gulliver comes to both admire and emulate the Houyhnhnms and their lifestyle. However, an Assembly of the Houyhnhnms rules that Gulliver essentially, a Yahoo with some semblance of reason, is a danger to their civilization, and expels him. He is then rescued by a Portuguese ship, and returned to England for good."
