Gulliverin Matkat Kaukaisilla Mailla

Gulliverin matkat kaukaisilla mailla

by Jonathan Swift

''Gulliverin matkat kaukaisilla mailla'' on Jonathan Swiftin kirjoittama satiirinen romaani, joka seuraa Lemuel Gulliverin seikkailuja eri fantaasimaailmoissa. Tarinan alussa Gulliver haaksirikkoutuu Lilliputiin, jossa pienikokoinen väestö elää monimutkaisessa yhteiskunnassa. Sitten hän joutuu Brobdingnagin jättiläisten valtakuntaan, jossa Gulliver itsensä kokoiset ihmiset ovat pientä ja haurasta. Swiftin satiirinen tyyli paljastaa ihmisluonnon heikkoudet ja yhteiskuntien virheet, ja romaani on erittäin ajankohtainen edelleenkin. Samuli Suomalaisen käännös on suunnattu nuorille lukijoille, ja se sisältää vain kaksi ensimmäistä osaa neljästä.
