Una novela divertidísima y una sátira contundente y sagaz de la sociedad del S. XVIII.El poeta, novelista y crítico irlandés Jonathan Swift (Dublín 1667-1745) es uno de los escritores clave de la literatura universal. Ordenado sacerdote protestante, participo activamente en la vida politica, religiosa y cultural de su tiempo, tanto que su ferviente y polemica defensa de la causa irlandesa frente a Inglaterra practicamente lo convirtio en heroe nacional. Inscrito en la edad dorada de la tradicion satirica anglosajona, su obra ha trascendido por la originalidad y la maestria en el uso de los recursos literarios. Pero es, sobre todo, las multiples lecturas que ofrece los Viajes de Gulliver lo que le ha dado trascendencia y fama universal. Un relato sorprendente que combina la amenidad y la ligereza narrativa de la novela de aventuras con el tono amargo y pesimista de la satira social que contiene. Viajes de Gulliver pone en evidencia la hipocresia, el mal uso de la razon y la falsedad de los presupuestos morales en los que se asienta la sociedad de su epoca: gigante entre enanos, enano entre gigantes, Gulliver sera victima siempre de la maldad de sus allegados.Emilio Lorenzo Criado preparo esta edicion, cuyo texto se ofrece completo y avalado por su excelente y fidedigna traduccion.
