ДЖОНАТАН СВИФТ Ordine dei libri (cronologico)
The renowned novel by the classic of English literature Jonathan Swift, in which he, using allegory, vividly and mercilessly mocks the vices of contemporary 18th-century England – social mores, politics, and laws. Written nearly 300 years ago, this book, like all great literary works, is still read with great interest today. Thanks to Swift's inexhaustible imagination, which captivates the reader to follow all the twists and turns of Gulliver's adventures, this serious philosophical-satirical novel has become a condensed retelling of one of the most cheerful and beloved children's books. The "Travels of Gulliver" is presented in the already classic retelling by Tamara Gabbe, a remarkable writer and translator. They narrate the hero's journey to Lilliput and Brobdingnag. Illustrations for the book are created by the Honored Artist of Russia Anatoly Itkin.
