Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726; and although it was by nomeans intended for them the book was soon appropriated by thechildren who have ever since continued to regard it as one of themost delightful of their story books. They cannot comprehend theoccasion which provoked the book nor appreciate the satire whichunderlies the narrative but they delight in the wonderful adventuresand wander full of open-eyed astonishment into the new worldsthrough which the vivid and logically accurate imagination of theauthor so personally conducts them. And therer is ameaning and amoral in the stories of the Voyages to Lilliputand Brobdingnag which is entirely apart fromthe political satire they are intended to convey a meaning and a moral which the youngest childwho can read it will not fail to seize and upon which it is scarcely necessary for the teacher to comment.
Gulliver's Travels (1726 amended 1735) is a novelby Jonathan Swift that is both a satire onhuman nature and a parody of the “travellers'tales” literary sub-genre. It is Swift's bestknown full-length work and a classic ofEnglish literature
The book became tremendously popular assoon as it was published. (ohn Gay said in a1726 letter to Swift that “it is universally readfrom the cabinet council to the nursery”); sincethen it has never been out of print.
内容简介
《格列佛游记(英文版)》是一本优秀的政治讽刺小说,一卷讲述格列佛在小人国的奇遇,第二卷描述格列佛遭遇海难后游历大人国;第三卷讲述在航海途中遭到海盗袭击,在小岛上的经历,第四卷是在智马国的经历。其实,所谓小人国、大人国、智马国,无非是当年英国社会现实的反映。作者斯威夫特一生既傲过牧师,又曾积极投身政治活动。写过大量表达政治主张的小册子。因而,这部游记笔锋犀利,想象丰富,对当时议会政治及反动的宗教势力都有尖锐盼讽刺。高尔基就曾称斯威夫特为“伟大文学的创造者之一”。
斯威夫特在英国文学乃至世界文学中都产生了极为深远的影响,20世纪英国著名讽刺作家威尔斯自称一生读这《格列佛游记(英文版)》不下六次,因而才写出著名政治预言小说《1984》和《动物庄园》。

这套世界名著,英语版,一直想买,进口书品质好的贵,买不起,品质不好的进口书纸质太差,字体小。此书还是国内版的纸质好,字体大,大16开,价格不错,京东再优惠,就更实惠。 1930年3月,老舍回到祖国。同年7月,到济南齐鲁大学任教。翌年夏,与后来成为国画家的胡絜青结婚。1934年,改任青岛山东大学教授。他在这两所大学,先后开设过《文学概论》、《欧洲文艺思潮》、《外国文学史》以及写作方面的课程。课余继续长篇小说的创作。《猫城记》(1932)以寓言的形式揭露旧中国的腐败,针砭保守愚昧的民族习性和畏惧洋人的奴才心理。同时流露出对于国事的悲观和对于革命的误解,是一部瑕瑜互见、颇多争议的作品。《离婚》(1933)描写一群公务员的庸碌生活,对此作了嘲弄和揶揄,充分表现出他作为北京市民社会的表现者和批判者、作为幽默作家的特点,是一部很能代表老舍风格的作品。《牛天赐传》(1934)和中篇《月牙儿》(1935)、《我这一辈子》(1937),都从街头巷尾摄下市井细民的生活场景。前者是对于世俗生活和市民心理的嘲讽,充满笑料;后两者是对于人间不平的抨击,饱含着愤懑和哀悼,作品的笔调也随之变得沉重。 抗日战争把老舍卷进了时代的漩涡。1937年10月,重新回到齐鲁大学任教的老舍,在济南行将沦陷的前夕,只身奔赴武汉。1938年 3月,中华全国文艺界抗敌协会在武汉成立,他被选为理事兼总务部主任,主管协会的日常事务,成为这个团体实际上的主要负责人。1939年6月,他参加全国慰劳总会北路慰问团,慰问抗战军民。近半年之中,行程两万余里,历经川、鄂、豫、陕、宁、青、甘、绥八省,包括延安和陕甘宁抗日民主根据地。这些,都开阔了他的视野,丰富了他的生活。过去由于与革命力量革命运动有些隔膜,产生过误解,这时通过接触和共同工作,增进了了解,他的政治态度明显地激进起来。1944年,茅盾曾经指出:“如果没有老舍先生的任劳任怨,这一件大事——抗战的文艺家的大团结,恐怕不能那样顺利迅速地完成,而且恐怕也不能艰难困苦地支撑到了。”(《光辉工作二十年的老舍先生》)为了在文艺界贯彻中国共产党提出的抗日统一战线政策,排除国民党顽固派的破坏干扰,为了保障作家的正当权益,他都做了不少工作。抗战后期,他又投身日渐高涨的民主运动之中。1944年 4月,重庆等地的各界人士举行老舍创作生活20周年的纪念活动,从不同的方面对他作出了高度评价。老舍不再是一个单纯埋头写作的作家,他成了文艺界的组织者和社会活动家,成了抗日和争取民主的战士。 以上变化也鲜明地反映在他的创作中。战争一爆发,他就立刻放弃已经写了几万字的两部长篇小说,而成为通俗文艺最热心的鼓吹者和实践者。他先后在济南、武汉、重庆等地,与演唱曲艺的艺人讨论编写抗战鼓词的问题,自己也利用各种旧形式写了不少宣传抗战的通俗作品,包括京剧、鼓词、相声、数来宝、坠子等,供艺人演出。这 些作品,一部分收入《三四一》(1938)中。在文艺界关于“民族形式”的讨论中,他写作了"新旧相融"(《我怎样写〈剑北篇〉》)的长诗《剑北篇》(1940~1942,未完)。随后,又开始创作话剧,或者个人编写或者与别人合作,连续写了《残雾》(1939)、《国家至上》(1940)等十几个剧本:有的号召民族团结,有的歌颂爱国将领,有的揭露“大后方”的霉烂堕落,抗战救国是这些作品的共同主题。他后来总结说:“我不明白舞台的诀窍,所以总耍不来那些戏剧的花样”,“我老是以小说的方法去述说”(《闲话我的七个话剧》),这些剧本在话剧艺术上确实存在明显的弱点。但通过这些努力,为他50年代的剧作作了很好的准备。1944年初,老舍开始创作长篇小说《四世同堂
