Gullivers Reisen

Von Jonathan Swift

Gullivers Reisen Jonathan Swift - Jonathan Swifts 'Gullivers Reisen' gilt vielen Lesern noch immer als Kinderbuch zahllose speziell gekürzte Ausgaben haben diesen falschen Eindruck noch befördert. Die Originalfassung aber ist eine überaus scharfzüngige Gesellschaftssatire, in der Swift virtuos mit verschiedenen literarischen Stilen spielt und äußerst originell Ausschnitte der Lebenswirklichkeit seiner Zeit mit phantastisch-märchenhaften Motiven vermengt. Die sagenhaften Gestalten, denen Gulliver auf seinen abenteuerlichen Reisen begegnet, werden für immer unvergesslich bleiben.

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.
