Other editions of book Gulliver's Travels: Voyage to Lilliput

The first adventure in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, retold by Martin Jenkins and illustrated by British Children’s Laureate Chris Riddell.In the best-known tale from Jonathan Swift’s classic satire, Lemuel Gulliver survives a shipwreck only to find himself on a strange island with even stranger inhabitants: miniature humans, no bigger than his hand. Gulliver’s adventure on Lilliput has been adapted by award-winning author Martin Jenkins in a witty, accessible retelling that remains faithful to the darkly comic tone of Swift’s original. Beloved by adults and children alike, Gulliver’s first journey is illustrated in brilliant panoramic detail by the masterful Chris Riddell in a wonderfully eccentric complement to the text. First published in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver, Jenkins and Riddell’s Kate Greenaway Medal–winning adaptation of all four tales, Voyage to Lilliput is now available as a standalone volume.

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a wild series of adventures widely acclaimed as "universally read" and highly influential. After a shipwreck, an Englishman discovers new, strange lands, and learns of the customs and governments of their inhabitants. This is an opportunity both for absurd humor and political satire, and the story of Lilliput may be the best example of Swift's imagination and wit. Gulliver finds himself a prisoner of a race of tiny people, the Lilliputians; they are no more than 6 inches tall, and he appears a giant to them. Soon afterwards, the spectacular giant becomes a favorite of the court, and is given a good view of the politics of the kingdom. Discover the most famous of Gulliver's travels, train your critical mind and choose your side between Big Endians and Little Endians, for a journey of adventures and laughter, narrated by one of the best storytellers.

About the Book Political fiction, such as political novels, often criticizes an existing society or presents an alternative, even fantastic, reality that is meant to shock, or encourage society to think about political structures and their actors. The thematic scope of the political novel often overlaps with that of the social novel, the proletarian novel, and the social science fiction novel. Influential works in this genre include Plato’s Republic, Thomas More's Utopia, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire's Candide, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin. Political fiction sometimes posits totalitarian dystopias, as in Jack London's The Iron Heel, Sinclair Lewis' It Can't Happen Here, and George Orwell's Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four.About us Leopold Classic Library has the goal of making available to readers the classic books that have been out of print for decades.
