About this audiobook
Shipwrecked on an unknown island, Lemuel Gulliver finds himself not merely a fish out of water, but a very big fish in a small pond. He awakens to find himself tied to the ground by the natives of Lilliput— tiny people small enough to fit in his pocket and play hide and seek in his hair! At first suspicious, Gulliver soon earns the trust of the Lilliputian people, who enlist their newfound giant in defending them from their enemies on the bordering island of Blefufeu— residents who are also desperate to use the giant in their war against Lilliput.
Jonathan Swift
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) nació en una familia humilde de Dublín. A los diecinueve años entró a trabajar como secretario del político inglés William Temple. Se trasladó a Inglaterra y con él permaneció diez años en los que siguió formándose y se ordenó sacerdote. A la muerte de Temple entró al servicio del conde de Berkeley y se hizo cargo de algunas parroquias irlandesas. En 1701, ya doctor en Teología, publicó anónimamente su primer panfleto político. Le seguirían muchos otros textos, sobre todo satíricos, con los que se ganó poderosos enemigos como la propia reina Ana. Criticó ferozmente el interés de la sociedad por lo material, la hipocresía religiosa y, en general, todo lo que consideró los males propios del ser humano. Su obra maestra fue sin duda Los viajes de Gulliver, que tuvo que dar a luz bajo seudónimo en 1726.
