Gulliver’s Travels takes listeners on an adventure to fictional and real places in the world, with fantastical elements such as a society of tiny people, flying cities, and the ghosts of ancient world leaders. Gulliver’s adventure takes him all over, and each location is uniquely themed and satirizes themes from our real world.

In one of the most well-known works of satire, Jonathan Swift puts forth a “modest proposal”. Swift begins by outlining the suffering that the starving beggars in Ireland experience daily. He paints a grim picture of the plight these people face to help the listener relate to the situation before turning the tables and suggesting that to alleviate the economic troubles of the poor, their children could be sold as food to the upper class. The shock from this sudden change is expounded by Swift’s continued explanation of the proposal.

Los viajes de Gulliver fue publicada por primera vez en 1726, y tres siglos después mantiene toda su vigencia. Esta célebre novela satírica es a la vez un relato de aventuras y una artera reflexiónfilosófica sobre la constitución de las sociedades modernas. Los encuentros del naufragante Lemuel Gulliver con los minúsculos liliputienses, los gigantes de Brobdingnag, los filosóficos houyhnhnms y los brutos yahoos harán que el protagonista, como el lector, abra los ojos a la cruda y verdadera naturaleza humana.

Swift nos embarca en las asombrosas aventuras de Lemuel Gulliver, un cirujano de barco convertido en explorador, cuyos viajes lo llevan a tierras desconocidas habitadas por seres extraordinarios. Desde los diminutos habitantes de Lilliput hasta los gigantes de Brobdingnag, y desde la isla flotante de Laputa hasta la tierra de los Houyhnhnms, seres racionales con forma de caballo, Swift utiliza la sátira y la fantasía para explorar las debilidades humanas, la política, y la sociedad de su época.

Gulliver's Travels tells of the fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, an Englishman and ship's surgeon, who travels to the "several remote nations of the world". In the beginning, he becomes shipwrecked in the land of Lilliput, where the distressed inhabitants are only six inches tall. His second voyage takes him to Brobdingnag, where lives a race of giants. At Glubdubdrib, the Island of Sorcerers, he speaks with great men of the past and learns from them the lies of history.

In Gullivers Reise nach Lilliput, dem ersten Teil von Jonathan Swifts berühmtem Roman Gullivers Reisen, verschlägt es den englischen Schiffsarzt Lemuel Gulliver nach einem Schiffbruch auf eine seltsame Insel – Lilliput. Dort wird er von winzigen Menschen gefesselt, die ihn zunächst fürchten, dann bewundern – und schließlich für politische Zwecke instrumentalisieren. Was wie ein märchenhaftes Abenteuer beginnt, entpuppt sich bald als scharfsinnige Satire auf Macht, Bürokratie und menschliche Eitelkeit.
