Gulliverin matkat kaukaisilla mailla
'Gulliverin matkat kaukaisilla mailla' Summary
''Gulliverin matkat kaukaisilla mailla'' seuraa merimiehen, Lemuel Gulliverin, seikkailuja kaukaisilla mailla. Ensimmäisessä osassa hän joutuu haaksirikkoutumaan Lilliputiin, jossa pikkuiset ihmiset ovat hallitseva väestö. Gulliver, joka on heille jättiläinen, joutuu osallistumaan heidän pienten ja merkityksettömien asioiden poliittiseen kilpailuun. Toisessa osassa hän joutuu Brobdingnagiin, joka on jättiläisten valtakunta, jossa Gulliver on kuin pieni hyönteinen. Siellä hän tapaa järkevän ja viisaan kuninkaan, joka näkee ihmiskunnan heikkoudet ja tyhmyydet uudesta näkökulmasta. Gulliverin seikkailut ovat samalla satiirinen kritiikki ihmisluonnosta ja yhteiskunnista, ja ne herättävät lukijassa kysymyksiä vallan, etiikan ja ihmisen paikan maailmassa.Book Details
