About the Author: Jonathan Swift is an Irish writer, political critic, and clergyman. He published many books and literature, the most important and most famous of which was “Gulliver’s Travels”, which includes four parts.
Jonathan Swift, one of the first critics of the English language, was a noted political writer, poet, and clergyman. He was born in Ireland and lost his father at an early age to be taken care of by his uncle.
With the beginnings of the glorious revolution in Ireland he was forced to emigrate to England, where he worked with Sir William Temple and got to experience a life of luxury and power. At a young age, he often moved between Ireland and England, and Swift entered the Church of Ireland at the same time as his poor cousin in the Church of England.
When he returned to Ireland he held the position of Dean of Saints at Patrick’s Cathedral and continued to do so until his death. As a writer, he wrote most of his works under pseudonyms, and today we mention his best satirical prose work, Gulliver’s Travels.
Gulliver’s Travels, his most famous work, was first published on September 28, 1726 and modified in 1735, and it is considered a classic English literature, and many were mistaken in thinking that it was a children’s book and in fact it was satirical prose. He mocks not only British policy against the Irish but also the oppression of the poor.|Swift lived for a long time in Trim, and a frequent satirical festival called the Trim Swift Festival was held.

Gulliver’s Travels book pdf download By Jonathan Swift

A wickedly clever satire uses comic inversions to offer telling insights into the nature of man and society. Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.

Gulliver’s Travels describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon. In Lilliput he discovers a world in miniature; towering over the people and their city, he is able to view their society from the viewpoint of a god. However, in Brobdingnag, a land of giants, tiny Gulliver himself comes under observation, exhibited as a curiosity at markets and fairs. In Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost all grip on everyday reality; while they plan and calculate, their country lies in ruins. Gulliver’s final voyage takes him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses whom he quickly comes to admire – in contrast to the Yahoos, filthy bestial creatures who bear a disturbing resemblance to humans. This text, based on the first edition of 1726, reproduces all the original illustrations and includes an introduction by Robert Demaria, Jr, which discusses the ways Gulliver’s Travels has been interpreted since its first publication. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was born in Dublin.

Istruzioni alla servitù book pdf download By Jonathan Swift

Come e qualmente i Servitori possano e debbano disubbidire, confondere, ingannare, ridicolizzare, truffare, svergognare, umiliare i loro Padroni. Tale è l’oggetto a cui si dedica questo irresistibile trattatello, che accompagnò Swift per più di trent’anni e fu pubblicato infine nell’anno della sua morte, il 1745. Ad esso Swift confessò di dare grande importanza: e lo si può ben capire, non solo per l’incessante presenza, in queste pagine, del genio comico, ma per il loro valore in qualche modo di beffardo messaggio testamentario.
Di fatto, nell’immemoriale guerra tra Servi e Padroni, questo trattatello, pur ostentando una sventata leggerezza, segna una data davvero storica e augusta. Qui Swift ha predisposto un vero manuale di sabotaggio, che ogni lettore accorto potrà facilmente trasporre dalla cucina a tutti gli altri possibili luoghi. Mostrandoci il Servitore che vessa il Padrone e lo sfrutta in ogni modo, egli ha leso l’aureola della Sovranità ben più gravemente che con un pamphlet di immediato tema politico. E insieme ha tracciato una Piccola Antropologia del Risentimento destinata ad avere molta fortuna. Ma bisognerà anche dire che Swift non sarebbe quell’immenso artista che è se per lui l’occasione, l’esempio non valessero anche e innanzitutto di per sé: così, anche trascurando le trasparenti applicazioni ‘ad altro’ di questo testo, non si può non rimanere incantati (ed esilarati) di fronte al quadro di nefandezze domestiche, descritte in ogni loro minuzia, che Swift ci offre, condensando a volte in poche righe intere epopee di dispetti e rappresaglie che dovevano essersi depositate per secoli, insieme alla polvere nelle case patrizie inglesi.

Un serio vademecum satirico book pdf download By Jonathan Swift

In Swift, padre della satira e dell’umorismo in lingua inglese, l’ironia sferzante e lo spirito anticonformista si traducono in satire senza tempo sulla società e le sue imperfezioni.
Questa antologia raccoglie una selezione di grandi capolavori ancora oggi di grande attualità nei temi e nella forza satirica, come Una modesta proposta, in cui Swift propone al lettore di usare i bambini come portata principale per le tavole delle classi benestanti dei ricchi e potenti irlandesi. Segue un altro classico come Istruzioni per il lacchè, uno spassoso prontuario di consigli per il sabotaggio domestico indirizzato a giardinieri, cuochi, governanti e balie. Il Discorso contro l’abolizione del cristianesimo e L’arte della menzogna politica sono altre due parodie meno note che si fanno beffe rispettivamente dell’integralismo e del fanatismo di teologi e preti, e dei politici che, ieri come oggi, si confermano la più abbietta e scaltra categoria umana. È presente anche l’altro capolavoro della satira swiftiana: La favola della botte, dove l’autore si scaglia contro la pedanteria e la presunzione di intellettuali e uomini di Chiesa. Seguono poi i Propositi per quando sarò vecchio e la Meditazione su di un manico di scopa.

In queste sferzanti parodie si mostra il talento più puro di Swift, nemico giurato di palloni gonfiati, falsi intellettuali e potenti senza scrupoli, che vengono sistematicamente annichiliti dalla penna pungente, sottile e divertente del grande scrittore irlandese.

Contiene: una modesta proposta, Istruzione per il lacchè, Yahoo e Houyhnhnm, La favola della botte, Discorso contro l’abolizione del cristianesimo, L’arte della menzogna politica, Discorso sull’antichità della lingua inglese, Meditazione su di un manico di scopa, Propositi per quando sarò vecchio.
