Written in a style of a contemporary travel book, Gulliver's travels has appeal for readers of many levels, savagely lampooning the politics, religious bigotry and social mores of Swift's own time - and still, after so many years, having much to say about the human condition. Swift's work has also been enjoyed by generation upon generation of children as a wonderful story of adventure and fantasy, indeed there can hardly be a child who is not familiar with the image of the giant Gulliver dwarfing the little people of Lilliput.\"\u003cbr\u003eExtract from Foreword by Deirdre Ellis-King, Dublin City Librarian (1985 - 2010)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTable of Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSwift and Dublin \/Ian Campbell Ross\u003cbr\u003eSome thoughts on Gulliver's travels \/Andrew Carpenter\u003cbr\u003eLemuel Gulliver's children \/Mary Shine Thompson\u003cbr\u003ePicturing Gulliver \/Valerie Coghlan\u003cbr\u003eJonathan Swift's Gulliver, 2004 \/Celia Keenan\u003cbr\u003eDublin City Public Libraries' Swift collection \/Máire Kennedy\u003cbr\u003eInfluence of Jonathan Swift on Anglo-Irish writing \/Eibhlín Evans.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-cel-widget=\"bookDescription_feature_div\" data-csa-c-id=\"s4kj0d-hvxshr-xzxn7k-cf8e24\" data-feature-name=\"bookDescription\" class=\"celwidget\" id=\"bookDescription_feature_div\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-collapsed-height a-row a-expander-container a-spacing-base a-expander-partial-collapse-container\" data-a-expander-collapsed-height=\"140\" data-a-expander-name=\"book_description_expander\" aria-live=\"polite\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content a-expander-partial-collapse-content a-expander-content-expanded\" aria-expanded=\"true\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" data-height=\"230\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"item-info\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-height=\"230\" class=\"item-excerpt trunc\" itemprop=\"description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Secret Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39726047166534,"sku":"3375","price":8.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0275\/8921\/4278\/products\/ReadingGulliverEssaysincelebrationofJonathanSwift_sClassic.jpg?v=1641374154","url":"https:\/\/www.thesecretbookstore.live\/products\/reading-gulliver-essays-in-celebration-of-jonathan-swifts-classic","provider":"The Secret Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
