Gulliverova putovanja

By Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift (1667.-1745.) je irski književnik u današnje vrijeme najpoznatiji po romanu Gulliverova putovanja. Oštra satira korumpirane engleske vlasti, njegovo remekdjelo je jedan od neprijepornih klasika književnosti engleskoga govornog područja. Slavu je steklo još u vrijeme objavljivanja. George Orwell ga je uvrstio među šest najvažnijih djela svjetske književnosti, i bezbrojno je puta adaptirano u književnosti, kazalištu, na filmu, kako igranom tako i animiranom.

Jonathan Swift

Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Irish poet and satirical writer. When the spread of Catholicism in Ireland became prevalent, Swift moved to England, where he lived and worked as a writer. Due to the controversial nature of his work, Swift often wrote under pseudonyms. In addition to his poetry and satirical prose, Swift also wrote for political pamphlets and since many of his works provided political commentary this was a fitting career stop for Swift. When he returned to Ireland, he was ordained as a priest in the Anglican church. Despite this, his writings stirred controversy about religion and prevented him from advancing in the clergy.
