Gulliverin retket
Translated by J. A. Hollo
"Gulliverin retket" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical prose novel published in 1726. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, an English adventurer who travels to bizarre distant lands inhabited by extraordinary beings. He encounters tiny people consumed by petty disputes, towering giants who critique European society, impractical intellectuals detached from reality, and rational horses living among savage human-like creatures. Through these fantastical journeys, Swift satirizes human nature, societal flaws, and civilization itself. Originally written as political satire rather than children's literature, this classic work continues to captivate readers with its sharp social commentary.
