"For the first time in his life, Gulliver felt ashamed of himself and his fellow-humans." Gulliver is a travel-hungry and adventurous ship's doctor, who has the odd misfortune of being ship-wrecked four times in as many voyages. Through Jonathan Coe's expert retelling of Swift's famous satire about our human hubris and desires, today's young readers are swept along as Gulliver finds himself a giant among tiny humans in Lilliput; a tiny human among giants in Brobdignag; on the flying island of Laputa, with its most impractical intellectuals; and finally in the land of the Houyhnhnms, talking horses who think precious little of human "Yahoos". Dave Eggers says, of the series: "I couldn't be prouder to be a part of it. Ever since Alessandro conceived this idea I thought it was brilliant. The editions that they've complied have been lushly illustrated and elegantly designed."

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift Jonathan Swift's satirical take on human nature and the traveler narrative of the time is an enjoyable story for children and scholars alike. Gulliver's Travels is Swift's best known full-length work and tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver who seeks to travel the world. When he is shipwrecked, he washes up on the island of Lilliput. He is a captive of a race of tiny people with even tinier concerns. Gulliver escapes and voyages to seven other mythical lands, and in each, means strange people whose foibles illuminate Swift's audience. While Gulliver's Travels was written in 1713, it's popularity has endured as a classic work with many different interpretations.

Birth. Death. Wonder … One woman’s journey to the edge of love and loyalty from the bestselling author of The Lace Weaver London, 1702. When her husband is lost at sea, Mary Burton Gulliver, midwife and herbalist, is forced to rebuild her life without him. But three years later when Lemuel Gulliver is brought home, fevered and communicating only in riddles, her ordered world is turned upside down. In a climate of desperate poverty and violence, Mary is caught in a crossfire of suspicion and fear driven by her husband’s outlandish claims, and it is up to her to navigate a passage to safety for herself and her daughter, and the vulnerable women in her care. When a fellow sailor, a dangerous man with nothing to lose, appears to hold sway over her husband, Mary’s world descends deeper into chaos, and she must set out on her own journey to discover the truth of Gulliver’s travels . . . and the landscape of her own heart. Praise for Gulliver’s Wife 'An absolutely gripping read, with a powerful and ultimately hopeful story to tell' Booktopia ‘Gulliver’s Wife is utterly spellbinding. Lauren Chater is a master of story-weaving and exquisite detail. I adored this book.’ Melissa Ashley, bestselling author of The Birdman’s Wife ‘Lauren Chater’s Mary Gulliver is an extraordinary character – a performer of everyday miracles, a woman of quiet strength and compassion in a world where nothing can be relied on, least of all her flamboyant fantasist of a husband. Set in a fictional past, this superbly written story of love, loss, motherhood, and letting go is highly relevant to the issues we face today. Do not miss it.’ Meg Keneally, author of Fled ‘Bold, evocative and brave – Gulliver’s Wife is a revelation in story-telling. I am in awe of Lauren Chater’s talent. Gulliver’s Wife had my heart from the opening line and didn’t let go until long after I finished the final page. An exquisitely told tale of love, loss and the magic of life.’ Tess Woods, author of Love and Other Battles ‘An imaginative tour-de-force!’ Bestselling author Kate Forsyth ‘The most impressive aspect of this novel is the finely tuned and nuanced treatment of the relationship between a mother and her rebellious teenage daughter.’ Sydney Morning Herald ‘A heartfelt tale of female solidarity.’ Daily Telegraph

General notes at the end of the book that present an overview of the book, contexting it in the period in which it was written, and discuss the major themes, characters, or the genre of the book f. Artwork that bring to life certain episodes in the story Suggestions for further reading and website links that the reader will find informative and helpful Rightly described as 'Hans Christian Andersen for children, Boccacio for adults', Gulliver's Travels is the most celebrated work of Jonathan Swift. Written as an incisive satire on the society and politics of the time, the book went on to become a favourite with children as well. From its very first edition, Gulliver's Travels was popular across all ages. In the book the author uses the medium of travel literature to satirize human nature and society. Through Gulliver's trip to the four fantastical nations, Swift reflects the follies of European culture, especially England. He criticizes European colonialism and the consequent brutality and destruction that was inflicted upon innocent, native populations under the pretext of civilizing them. The protagonist in the book, Lemuel Gulliver, is also the pseudonym under which Swift wrote the book, fearing that the satire may not be received well by the readers and the political establishment. Gulliver is a trusting, gullible man, who by strange twists of fate lands in strange places and has unusual encounters. His experiences in the island of the tiny Lilliputs, the land of the giant Brobdingnagians, the floating island of the Laputians, and the utopian land of the Houyhnhnms provide the ground for criticizing European culture, especially English society. Parallels from real life and incidents of Swift's time emerge as one reads about each voyage, turning the book into a powerful alleagorical commentary. By the end of the story, Swift's criticism of mankind and society becomes so bitter that Gulliver is shown to recoil from human society. He stays away even from his own family. However, the satire, lighthearted in the beginning and scathing towards the end, does not make the book any less enjoyable. Gulliver's Travels remains a timeless classic for adults and an enchanting tale of fantasy for children.
