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》。
