Gulliver's Travels [Swift] Gulliver's Travels consist of four parts: Lilliputian Travels, Brobdingnag Travels, Leipita Travels and Returning to China Travels. With magical imagination, exaggerated means and allegorical brushstrokes, the author mercilessly criticized the ruling class, especially its corruption, incompetence, boredom, malice, debauchery, greed and arrogance. Gulliver's Travels consists of four parts. The first volume of Lilliput's Travels and the second volume of Brobdingnag's Travels were written between 172 1 year and 1722. The fourth volume, Travel Notes of Hui, was written in 1723, earlier than the third volume. The third volume is relatively loose, and the price difference is large. It is mainly composed of travel notes of Lai Pitard (Flying Island), Balny Babi, Lager nagel, Greta Cone and Japanese Travel Notes. It was written for two years from 1724 to 1725. The four parts should be independent of each other, and some connection or contrast on the surface may only exist between the first volume and the second volume; Gulliver changed from a "giant mountain" in a lilliputian country to a poor dwarf in a big country. Of course, no matter from the positive eulogy or negative satire, Swift's feelings and thoughts are consistent in four parts, that is, mercilessly criticizing the British society in the first half of the eighteenth century, especially lashing the ruling class for corruption, incompetence, boredom, cruelty, debauchery, greed and arrogance. This kind of criticism and lashing voice even reached the level of fierceness and violence in the fourth volume of Hui Travels. The scope of criticism and lashing seems to go beyond1Britain at the beginning of the 8th century, pointing directly at the sinful, stupid, dirty and irrational whole human being. No wonder many critics accuse Swift of being at least a misanthrope. Hui Gui is his ideal utopia. Gulliver was exiled by wisdom and reason, and returned to the native land where he was born and raised, and now he hates his guts, but he spent the rest of his life with a bunch of "wild Hu" angrily and helplessly. Gulliver's Travels is an outstanding satirical novel by Swift. Since its publication more than two centuries ago, it has been translated into dozens of languages and widely circulated all over the world. The works reflect the social contradictions in Britain in the first half of the18th century, expose the corruption and evil of the ruling group at that time, and attack the war of aggression and colonialism. Although it satirizes the court and politicians, this work transcends the limitations of its time and place, especially the first two parts, and is considered as one of the great treasures of literature. Gulliver, a surgeon, was born in Nottinghamshire. He studied medicine at Cambridge University. Gulliver would rather be a surgeon on a ship than seek a better position on the shore. After several deep-sea voyages, he became a surgeon aboard the Antelope, which was wrecked in a strong storm on the northwest coast of Wandimen. Of all the people on board, only Gulliver escaped to the shore. He was exhausted and fell asleep as soon as he fell to the ground. When he woke up, Gulliver found his arms and legs tied, surrounded by groups of dwarfs. They brought him food and water and sent him to their city. The majestic king is half an inch taller than his subjects. He and his officials came to see Gulliver. Gulliver finally realized that he was in lilliput. They tied him up for a long time. Finally, Gulliver convinced them that he meant no harm and that he would never hurt them on his honor, so they let him go and invited six education professors to teach Gulliver their language. In order to maintain Gulliver's physical strength, they provided him with enough meat and drinks for themselves 1724 people, which they calculated mathematically according to the ratio of Gulliver's body to their body. They called 300 chefs and 72 waiters to cook and serve Gulliver, sent 200 seamstresses to sew clothes for Gulliver and sent 300 tailors to make coats for Gulliver. After Gulliver's needs were met, Gulliver also wanted to do something for them. The first thing he wants to do is to walk around without hurting their people or property. This is a very possible danger, because these people are very small, Gulliver can hide one or two of them in his coat pocket. Walking in the street, if Gulliver's footsteps were heavier, his building might stagger down. In other words, if your eyes don't pay attention to what's below, it's easy to crush several cows with one foot. One day, the king came to Gulliver in a friendly way because he was in big trouble. The king of neighboring ancient Blefuscu threatened to raze this lilliputian country to the ground. The navy of ancient Babylonia has fifty warships and is preparing to set sail. Gulliver waded to the main port where they moored their ships. I cut the anchor cables of fifty warships with a knife, then tied a cable to each ship and dragged it back. This forced the ancient Babylonians to surrender. This achievement brought glory to Gulliver, and also established several strong enemies for him, one of which was a senior general of the Lilliputian navy. Of course, Gulliver can trample them and the whole kingdom under his feet if he wants, but Gulliver promises not to hurt them. Therefore, when they conspired to judge Gulliver and blind him, Gulliver had no choice but to run away. Gulliver came to the ancient country of Blefuscus, and they held a grand welcome party for him, asking him to stay. Gulliver was tired of kings and princes. He told them that he didn't need anything but a boat to leave. They reserved/kloc-0.00 head of cattle, 300 sheep, 400 pieces of meat prepared by cows, bulls and the ship's chef, so Gulliver wouldn't go hungry. Gulliver set sail on the third day On the way, I met an English merchant captain. When Gulliver told his story, he thought Gulliver was crazy. It was not until Gulliver took some cows out of his pocket that he believed Gulliver. To Gulliver's great sadness, on his way home, a mouse on the boat dragged away one of his sheep. When he got home, Gulliver knew that his uncle John had passed away. He left Gulliver the manor near Epie, which was enough to make Gulliver's family no longer poor. But Gulliver still longed for roaming. He went out to sea again, this time on the ship Adventure to surat. During the voyage, after a big storm, the ship sailed into a strange bay in search of fresh water. While walking on the shore, Gulliver and his companions got separated and fell into the hands of local giants in Great Britain, almost none of whom were less than 60 feet tall. They took Gulliver out for exhibition, and Gulliver's fame spread to the ears of the king and queen; They ordered him to be taken to court. Gulliver was taken there and looked after by the daughter of one of his captors. The little girl's name is Green Duckridge. She is nine years old, younger than her age, and less than thirty feet tall. Gulliver traveled all over their 6000-mile-long and 3000-5000-mile-wide kingdom on the Royal Train. The capital is 54 miles long and 45 miles wide. This is a beautiful city. The king's palace is 7 miles from Fiona Fang, and the main hall is 240 feet high, commensurate with its width and length. The king's stable is also a beautiful building, which can accommodate 500 horses. These noble animals are 54 to 60 feet tall. Gulliver often said that people in lilliputian countries are flawless in appearance, while people in big countries are rough. Later, he thought that the shortcomings of people in lilliputian countries are directly proportional to their size, and the shortcomings are too small to be seen; People in big countries may look rougher than they really are, because their huge bodies magnify every defect. These huge people are at least more open-minded on some issues, such as: when you beat eggs, do you beat them from the big end or the small end? This question almost split the lilliputian country in two, but people in big countries will not be kept awake by such things at all. Gulliver saw this when the King of Great Britain talked about a political issue. Gulliver talked about his own country-England. "The government requires people with different views to change or not to change their views," he said. "This is autocracy." Your majesty is very interested in England. Gulliver told the history of England in detail, and he was very surprised. He asserted that this seems to be nothing more than a series of conspiracies, murders, revolutions and exile, all the worst results of greed, infighting, hypocrisy, hatred, desire, resentment and ambition. "How can you let this hateful pest crawl on the earth!" He said. Gulliver suffered greatly from his defamatory judgment. Now Gulliver has become the darling of a great nation. But at the cost of losing human dignity. Gulliver wants to be with his kind again. He also wants to take a breath of air against the sea of his motherland. Gulliver's request was granted and he was taken to the seaside. Gulliver's little babysitter, groome Duckridge, was ill, and a poetic boy took care of him. He left Gulliver alone by the sea and went to find the eggs himself. In this way, when Gulliver was alone, a big bird picked up his sleeping suitcase and took him to the far sea, and then the suitcase fell into the sea. Almost at this moment, an English ship just passed by and fished Gulliver out. In this way, Gulliver was miraculously saved and brought back to England safely again. Gulliver went sailing again and experienced several adventures. The strangest time was when an islander rescued him from the barren land. Their island flies in the air, and it is equally amazing that a huge magnet attracts the flying island to rise and fall. The people on the flying island think they are superior races, but in Gulliver's view, they all just have one eye concave and the other eye staring straight at the zenith. A later trip took Gulliver to a country of rational and human-like beasts and horses. These humanoid beasts are slaves of horses. They have some bad habits very similar to human beings. Those smart and moral horses called "smart horses" even regard Gulliver as a humanoid beast in the end, which makes Gulliver extremely miserable. Smart horses are shaped like horses. They have more reasonable laws than the people Gulliver once lived in. They hated many human habits so much that Gulliver later despised his peers. Gulliver hopes that he is a "smart horse" and can live with them. But they were afraid that Gulliver would become the leader of the humanoid beast, which would bring them trouble one day, so they drove Gulliver out of their kingdom. They promised to build Gulliver a boat full of food. In this way, Gulliver left by boat and finally arrived in England.
