Gulliver's Travels (Wisehouse Classics Edition - with original color illustrations by Arthur Rackham)

Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World (with the original color illustrations by Arthur Rackham). In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, commonly known as GULLIVER'S TRAVELS (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire by Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the «travellers' tales» literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book became popular as soon as it was published. John Gay wrote in a 1726 letter to Swift that «It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery.» Since then, it has never been out of print. (more on www.wisehouse-classics.com)
