Gulliver's Travels: The Real Thing

Date of Review:  Jul 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: This is a very useful edition of the classic.
Review: Jonathan Swift, in the English-speaking world, at least, is synonymous with barbed, bitter satire. Perhaps it is partly the circumstances of history -- Swift's time is no longer a living reality -- and partly the result of a dumbed-down,...

Fantasy From the Past

Date of Review:  Jan 28, 2001
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this story to anyone looking for an intelligent, whimsical, and entertaining story. I think it has an undeniable appeal, that's lasted for almost 300 years.
