Story0
A Tale of a Tub marks Jonathan Swifts first significant work, crafted between 1694 and 1697 and published in 1704. Often considered his most challenging satire, this prose parody intricately weaves together sections of humorous digression and the fable of three brothers, each symbolizing a major branch of Western Christianity. The narrative is widely interpreted as a critique of religious fervor, drawing criticism from figures like William Wotton. While the tale consistently satirizes religious excess, the digressions serve as sharp parodies of contemporary literature, politics, theology, ...

Gulliver's Travels is renowned as a playful and comic children's classic. The book itself, rather than the bowdlerized versions that have been derived from it, is a savage, rude and brilliant satire, timeless in its appeal and unerringly accurate.

The streets of eighteenth-century Dublin were rife with an appalling level of poverty. Desperate mothers regularly begged for alms to feed their children, and although passersby might have occasionally contributed a few coins, no large-scale remedy had proved remotely practical or effective.

Story1
Jonathan Swift almost defines satire in his biting and brutal pamphlet in which he suggests that poor (Catholic) Irish families should fatten up their children and sell them to the rich (Protestant) land owners, thus solving the twin problems of starving children and poverty in one blow. When the "Proposal" was published in 1729, Swift was quickly attacked, and even accused of barbarity - the exact state the "Proposal" was written to expose.

Story0
In his scathing and provocative pamphlet, Jonathan Swift masterfully exemplifies the art of satire by suggesting a shocking solution to the dire plight of impoverished Irish families fattening their children and selling them to wealthy Protestant landowners. Published in 1729, Swifts audacious Proposal ignited fierce backlash and accusations of barbarism—precisely the moral decay he sought to illuminate. Join us as we delve into this powerful critique of society and explore the depths of human absurdity. (Summary by Hugh)

Story0
Dive into Jonathan Swift’s sharp satire in A Modest Proposal, one of literature’s most famous works of dark humor and social criticism. Written in 1729, Swift offers a shocking "solution" to the poverty and famine affecting Ireland, proposing the unthinkable with a calm, calculated rationale that highlights the cruelty and indifference of the ruling classes. Through biting irony, Swift forces readers to confront the realities of exploitation and dehumanization in society.

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.

Als Gulliver wieder in England weilt, bittet ihn ein Besucher, mit ihm an Bord seines Schiffes zu reisen. Gulliver ist einverstanden. Doch das Schiff wird von Piraten überfallen. Ein christlicher holländischer Pirat will Gulliver ins Meer werfen lassen, doch der japanische Hauptmann sorgt dafür, dass er am Leben bleibt. Gulliver sagt, dass er mehr Gnade bei einem Heiden, als bei einem Mit-Christen fand. Gulliver wird in einem Boot mit Proviant ausgesetzt. Er kommt an einigen Inseln vorbei und geht schließlich bei einer an Land. Da bemerkt er, dass die Sonne seltsam verdunkelt ist.

In Brobdingnag sind nicht nur die Menschen riesig, sondern auch die ganze Natur ist hier viel größer als Lemuel Gulliver selbst. Von einem schweren Sturm vom Kurs abgetrieben, legt das Beiboot seines Schiffes an einer Insel an, um Frischwasser zu holen. Gullivers Gefährten flüchten vor einem Riesen und lassen ihn zurück, worauf er bald von Einheimischen entdeckt wird. Die Durchschnittsgröße der riesigen Inselbewohner beträgt ungefähr 18 Meter. Von einem Pächter wird Gulliver zunächst gegen Geld ausgestellt, bevor er an das Königshaus in Lorbrulgrud, der Hauptstadt von Brobdingnag, verkauft wird.

Nachdem Gulliver fünf Monate zu Hause gewesen war, zieht es ihn erneut aufs Meer, diesmal als Kapitän eines Schiffes. Auf See aber kommt es zur Meuterei und Gulliver wird von den Meuterern an einem unbekannten Strand ausgesetzt. Auf einem Feld sieht er Tiere mit langem Haar an Kopf, Brust und Bärten, wie Ziegen ihn tragen. Als Gulliver seinen Weg fortsetzt, trifft er auf eine der widerwärtigen Kreaturen; er zieht seinen Säbel, schlägt das Tier mit der flachen Seite, so dass es brüllt, worauf die Herde vom Feld auf Gulliver zukommt und ihn mit Fäkalien besudelt. Plötzlich aber laufen sie davon, offenbar von einem Pferd verscheucht.

Gullivers Reisen ist ein satirischer Roman des irischen Schriftstellers, anglikanischen Priesters und Politikers Jonathan Swift. In der Originalfassung besteht der Roman aus vier Teilen. In anschaulicher Erzählweise bringt Swift seine Verbitterung über zeitgenössische Missstände und seine Auffassung von der Relativität der menschlichen Werte zum Ausdruck. Durch die anschauliche Erzählweise der zweiteiligen Kinderbuchausgabe, in welcher Gulliver erst das Land der Zwerge entdeckt und dann im Land der Riesen landet, und in der die sozialkritischen und satirischen Positionen fehlen, wurde das Werk zu einem weltbekannten Jugendbuch.

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read. Gulliver's Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs.

Story0
Ce roman fut écrit par Swift après le krach de 1720. Il avait acheté des actions de la Compagnie des mers du Sud pour 1000 livres. La spéculation avait fait passer la valeur d'une action de 128 livres à 1050 livres, avant de s'effondrer ruinant bon nombre de commerçants britanniques. Cet accroissement puis cette miniaturisation de la richesse en un temps très court a dû donner à Swift l'idée des changements de taille relative de son personnage principal qui serait une métaphore de ce krach en donnant à Swift l'occasion de se moquer des travers de la société de son temps.

Als 1727 "Gullivers Reisen" von Jonathan Swift erschien, ahnte bestimmt niemand, dass dieser als zeitgenössische politische Satire gemeinte Roman ein Welterfolg als Kinderbuch werden würde. Dieser Erfolg ist Gulliver treu geblieben und hat ihm - zu seinem und dem Ruhm seines geistigen Vaters und uns zur Freude - dieses Hörspiel beschert. Noch einmal erleben wir Gullivers aufregende Abenteuer bei den Zwergen und bei den Riesen - und wieder streifen wir mit ihm durch Liliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa und Lagado. Durch alle Kontinente der phantastischen Welt des Dichters Jonathan Swift.
