Les Voyages de Gulliver / Gulliver''s Travels : French-English bilingual edition Les Voyages de Gulliver ou Les Voyages extraordinaires de Gulliver (en anglais Gulliver''s Travels) est un roman satirique �crit par Jonathan Swift en 1721. Une version censur�e et modifi�e par son �diteur para�t pour la premi�re fois en 1726 ; ce n''est qu''en 1735 qu''il para�tra en version compl�te. Il appara�t pour la premi�re fois en fran�ais sous le titre Voyages du capitaine Lemuel Gulliver en divers pays �loign�s en janvier 1727, � La Haye. Les Voyages de Gulliver marquent un sommet de la satire sociale et politique au travers d''�l�ments m�lant, sur le mode du pamphlet ou de la description narrative, de la philosophie, de la logique, du fantastique et de la science-fiction. Le roman a �t� �crit par Swift apr�s le krach de 1720. Il avait achet� des actions de la Compagnie des mers du Sud pour 1 000 livres. La sp�culation avait fait passer la valeur d''une action de 128 livres � 1 050 livres, avant de s''effondrer ruinant bon nombre de commer�ants britanniques. Cet accroissement puis cette miniaturisation de la richesse en un temps tr�s court a d� donner � Swift l''id�e des changements de taille relative de son personnage principal qui serait une m�taphore de ce krach en donnant � Swift l''occasion de se moquer des travers de la soci�t� de son temps.__________________________________________________Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift''s savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified and finally bestial species, presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves. Jonathan Swift was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet and cleric who became Dean of St. Patrick''s, Dublin. He is remembered for works such as Gulliver''s Travels, A Modest Proposal, A Journal to Stella and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. Swift originally published all of his works under pseudonyms--such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M.B. Drapier--or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire: the Horatian and Juvenalian styles.__________________________________________________From School Library Journal : Gr 7 Up-Jonathan Swift''s satirical novel was first published in 1726, yet it is still valid today. Gulliver''s Travels describes the four fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a kindly ship''s surgeon. Swift portrays him as an observer, a reporter, and a victim of circumstance. His travels take him to Lilliput where he is a giant observing tiny people. In Brobdingnag, the tables are reversed and he is the tiny person in a land of giants where he is exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. The flying island of Laputa is the scene of his next voyage. The people plan and plot as their country lies in ruins. It is a world of illusion and distorted values. The fourth and final voyage takes him to the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses who rule the land. He also encounters Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who resemble humans. The story is read by British actor Martin Shaw with impeccable diction and clarity and great inflection. If broken into short listening segments, the tapes are an excellent tool for presenting an abridged version of Gulliver''s Travels.-Jean Deck, Lambuth University, Jackson, TN (Copyright 2001 Cahners Business Information, Inc.)

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver's final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire - in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver's Travels has been interpreted since its first publication.

The travel begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages.During his first voyage, Gulliver is washed ashore after a shipwreck and finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, less than 6 inches (15 cm) tall, who are inhabitants of the island country of Lilliput. After giving assurances of his good behaviour, he is given a residence in Lilliput and becomes a favourite of the Lilliput Royal Court. He is also given permission by the King of Lilliput to go around the city on condition that he must not harm their subjects.At first, the Lilliputians are hospitable to Gulliver, but they are also wary of the threat that his size poses to them. The Lilliputians reveal themselves to be a people who put great emphasis on trivial matters. For example, which end of an egg a person cracks becomes the basis of a deep political rift within that nation. They are a people who revel in displays of authority and performances of power. Gulliver assists the Lilliputians to subdue their neighbours the Blefuscudians by stealing their fleet. However, he refuses to reduce the island nation of Blefuscu to a province of Lilliput, displeasing the King and the royal court.Gulliver is charged with treason for, among other crimes, urinating in the capital though he was putting out a fire. He is convicted and sentenced to be blinded. With the assistance of a kind friend, "a considerable person at court", he escapes to Blefuscu. Here, he spots and retrieves an abandoned boat and sails out to be rescued by a passing ship, which safely takes him back home.
