Walker Illustrated Classics is a new series which brings together some of the best-loved stories ever told, illustrated by some of today's finest artists. These exquisitely designed books, with their magnificent words and glorious pictures, are a pleasure to read - and re-read. The classics have never looked so good! This edition of Swift's classic adventure story contains all four of Gulliver's .

'Thus, gentle Reader, I have given thee a faithful History of my Travels for Sixteen Years, and above Seven Months; wherein I have not been so studious of Ornament as of Truth.' In these words Gulliver represents himself as a reliable reporter of the fantastic adventures he has just set down; but how far can we rely on a narrator whose identity is elusive and whoses inventiveness is self-evident?

Shipwrecked and cast adrift, Lemuel Gulliver wakes to find himself on Lilliput, an island inhabited by little people, whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters give Gulliver new, bitter insights into human behaviour.

Gathers together some of Swift's most brilliant prose, from high politics to social gossip, from savage tirades to lighthearted social satire including: the political dilemma of Ireland; charms of the Beggar's Opera ; and, the importance of puns. This work includes several of Swift's letters to Alexander Pope and other great thinkers of the age.

Ship's surgeon Lemuel Gulliver's mishaps and adventures just get stranger and stranger! This work takes readers to Lillput and beyond.

Presents a mockery of the proposed establishment of a national bank in the author's native Ireland, and the climate of financial hysteria that inspired it. This title contains some timely economic scepticism, as well as a healthy dose of scatological double entendres.

Contains all four of Gulliver's extraordinary voyages.

Presents a range of Swift's writing, including not only the major literary prose works but also substantial poetic and political writings. This title includes a selection of contemporary materials, along with criticism, a chronology and bibliography.

A comprehensive anthology of Swift's writing, including The Tale of a Tub and The Battle of the Books, writing on politics, religion, and Ireland, as well as a generous selection from his correspondence. Formerly published in the acclaimed Oxford Authors series.

A Tale of a Tub is the masterpiece of Swift's earlier years. It is presented here with The Battle of the Books, The Mechanical Operation of the Spirit, and the Additions.

One in a new series of fiction titles, each of them written by a master storyteller. Great writing, great entertainment and exceptional value.

A collection of some of the greatest essays in Western literature. It covers a broad range of subjects, varying from starvation in Ireland to the tombs in Westminster Abbey.

An account of a voyage that begins with a shipwreck on the high seas and continues as he encounters a race of miniature people known as Lilliputians; giant Brobdingnagians; the foolish Laputians; the very humanoid Yahoos; and finally, the gentle and wise horse-like Houhynhyms - beings far superior to Man. Will Gulliver ever make it home again?

This edition of Jonathan Swift's classic is based on the 1726 text and is accompanied by detailed explanatory annotations. The text also presents: materials that influenced Swift's writing of the novel, documents that suggest its initial reception, and 14 assessments of Gulliver's Travels .

Features explanations of themes, motifs, and symbols, analyses of characters and quotes, plot summaries and analysis, an exploration of historical context, and facts and potential essay topics.

This edition of a hilarious work by the author of 'Gulliver's Travels', 'Directions to Servants' is one of Jonathan Swift's last completed works. It displays all his caustic skill as a satirist and his unerring eye for the little annoyances of life.

Classic / British English (Available February 2008) Gulliver travels across the sea from England and has an accident. He arrives in a country of very, very small people. What will they do with him? How will he talk to them? And why are the Big-enders fighting the Little-enders?

In the course of his famous travels, Gulliver is captured by miniature people who wage war on each other because of religious disagreement over how to crack eggs, is sexually assaulted by giants, visits a floating island, and decides that the society of horses is better than that of his fellow man.

Swift's exuberant, bawdy fable is a unique satire on politics, religion, fashion, madness and on writing itself - one which can be seen as anticipating the postmodern age with its witty digressions and dissection of the art of fiction.
