Author Description

Product Description In Gulliver's Travels, the narrator represents himself as a reliable reporter of the fantastic adventures he has just experienced. But how far can we rely on a narrator who has been impersonated by someone else? The work purports to be a travel book, and describes the shipwrecked Gulliver's encounters with the inhabitants of four extraordinary places: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. A consumately skillful blend of fantasy and realism makes Gulliver's Travels by turns hilarious, frightening, and profound. Swift's alter ego plays tricks on us, and our gullibility uncovers one of the world's most disturbing satires of the human condition. About the Author Jonathan Swift (1667–1745), an Irish author and journalist, is considered to have been the preeminent prose satirist in the English language. Known as Dublin's foremost citizen, Swift's most famous work is Gulliver's Travels.A highly respected and enthusiastic audiobook narrator, David Case specialized in creating unique and interesting character voices.
