Gulliver's Travels

and Alexander Pope's Verses on Gulliver's Travels

'Among the six indispensable books in world literature' George Orwell

In the course of his famous travels, Gulliver is captured by miniature people who wage war on each other because of religious disagreement over how to crack eggs, is sexually assaulted by giants, visits a floating island, and decides that the society of horses is better than that of his fellow man. Swift's tough, filthy and incisive satire has much to say about the state of the world today and is presented here in its unexpurgated entirety.
Swift's world-famous satire was an instant bestseller...his vision is dark, often verging on the obscene
Robert McCrum, Guardian
