Gulliver's Travels: Travels Into Several Remote Nations Of The World, In Four Parts, By Lemuel Gulliver, First A Surgeon, And Then A Captain Of Several Ships
by Jonathan SwiftAlso known as Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, Gulliver’s Travels is a wickedly clever novel satirizing both human nature and the “travellers’ tales” literary subgenre, and was an immediate success upon publication in 1726. To this day, Gulliver’s Travels is Swift’s best-known work and one of the most popular books in the world. The novel describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon. In Lilliput, he discovers a miniature world; in Brobdingnag, a land of giants; in Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost grip on everyday reality; and in the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses come in contrast to the bestial Yahoos that closely resemble humans. Swift’s savage satirical prose views humankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified, and bestial species, presenting readers with an uncompromising reflection of our existence. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.

However, her ignorance proves embarrassing during a weekend visit to a small western town for the dedication of a memorial to her father's former crewmate: she is told Martin Mansfield saved her father's life. Remembering how easily he let her mother go, she wonders if her father is perhaps a coward. During the weekend, Juliet worries that she might be replaced in the band and fights her attraction to the hero's son Christian, who is engaged to be married. She's also shocked by his mother's attempts to ensnare her father, Tony, while accusing her of flirting. In addition, there's the weird behaviour of Christian's grandfather to think about and she senses a mystery around the death of his wife, Mary. Can she solve it? And, if she does, will it somehow help Juliet find the courage to speak out about her stepfather?
