Jonathan Swift's classic satirical narrative was first published in 1726, seven years after Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (one of its few rivals in fame and breadth of appeal). As a parody travel-memoir it reports on extraordinary lands and societies, whose names have entered the English language: notably the minute inhabitants of Lilliput, the giants of Brobdingnag, and the Yahoos i...(展开全部)

该书通过里梅尔·格列佛船长之口，叙述了周游四国的奇特经历。但仔细体会，却处处揭露着英国社会的黑暗现实，并寄寓着作者的理想。 虽然格列佛起初以为小人国与英国毫不相像，但实际上小人国却是英国的写照.透过那似是荒谬的逻辑，我们看到的是：国王比他的臣民只高出一个指甲，却狂妄地自命为头顶天的宇宙统治者，以其无常的喜怒决定老百姓的命运。官吏们也无需德才兼备，只要跳绳跳得高，就可得到高官厚禄。 小人国的两党以鞋跟高矮为区分标志，这里影射的是当年英国的托利党（即保守党的前身）和辉格党（后来发展成自由党）两党政治；而吃鸡蛋时是从大头敲开还是从小头敲开，则指的是天主教与新教（亦称清教，即加尔文教派）之间关于教会仪式的无稽之争。为了这一区区争端，竟导致了小人国的内战，甚至殃及邻国。由于小人国里的警察制度和诬告成风，格列佛不得不逃离那里。 大人国的人无论体力还是理智都超过了...(展开全部)

Shipwrecked castaway Lemuel Gulliver's encounters with the petty, diminutive Lilliputians, the crude giants of Brobdingnag, the abstracted scientists of Laputa, the philosophical Houyhnhnms, and the brutish Yahoos give him new, bitter insights into human behavior. Swift's fantastic and subversive book remains supremely relevant in our own age of distortion, hypocrisy, and irony...(展开全部)

First published in 1726, this classic work of satire presents a world gone haywire, where humans, despite their pomposity and grandiose illusions, are no better than weak and helpless fools. Lemuel Gulliver's journeys take him to Lilliput, a country whose inhabitants are no more than six inches tall; to Brobdingnag, a land of giants; to Laputa, a flying island inhabited by abse...(展开全部)

《格列佛游记》是英国18世纪最优秀的讽刺作家和政论家乔纳森·斯威夫特代表作。故事大旨意在抨击当时英国的议会政治与反动宗教势力，是一本幻想游记为文体的讽刺小说。故事以一个外科医生格列佛的口吻叙述了在航海时遇难、漂流到几个奇异国度的经历。深刻反讽时政的腐败，以离奇、甚至令人作呕的情节，讽刺学究的愚蠢可笑，并且省思人性的不同面向。
