Introduction to the work:

Gulliver's Travels is an outstanding travelogue satire novel by jonathan swift (also translated by jonathan swift), which narrates the experience of traveling around four countries in the tone of Captain Riemel Gulliver (also translated by Lemur Gulliver). Gulliver's adventures in Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Feidao and Hui Hui reflect the corruption and evil of the British ruling class in the first half of the18th century. He also expressed the author's ideas in a perfect artistic form. The author wrote fantastic plots with rich satire and fictional fantasy, which profoundly reflected the meaningless partisan struggle in the British Parliament at that time, the ignorance and corruption of the ruling group and the mercenary, and exposed and criticized the cruelty and violence of the colonial war. At the same time, it also praised the heroic struggle of the colonial people against the rulers to a certain extent.

About the author:

Jonathan swift (1667— 1745) was born in Dublin. His family is very poor. His father died seven months after he was born. Because his mother could not support him, his uncle took on the responsibility of educating him until he was sent to Dublin University at that time. At that time, the University of Dublin was a church school that trained faithful believers for the church, but Swift always hated the theology and various complicated philosophies taught in the university. It is conceivable that he can't achieve satisfactory results for the school. When he graduated, he only got a so-called "charter degree" diploma, which prevented him from finding a good job in society.
