Los Viajes de Gulliver

Escrito por Jonathan Swift

Narrado por Juan Padilla

Los viajes de Gulliver (en inglés Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships,​ o de forma abreviada Gulliver's Travels, 1726, modificada en 1735) es una sátira en prosa​ del escritor y clérigo irlandés Jonathan Swift, en la cual se burla del subgénero literario de los "relatos de viajes" de la sociedad europea de su tiempo e incluso de la naturaleza humana. Es la obra de narración larga más conocida de Swift, y un clásico de la literatura universal.

El libro se volvió famoso tan pronto como fue publicado; John Gay dijo en una carta en 1726 a Swift que «es universalmente leído, desde el Gabinete del Consejo hasta la guardería»;​ desde entonces, nunca ha dejado de imprimirse y ha inspirado numerosas alusiones, adaptaciones e imitaciones.

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.
