Gulliver's Travels is an outstanding travelogue satire novel by jonathan swift (also translated by jonathan swift). Jonathan swift is a writer, political commentator and satirist in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. He is famous for Gulliver's Travels and The Story of a Bucket. He was once called "one of the creators of world literature" by Gorky.
Gulliver's Travels narrates the experience of traveling around four countries in the tone of Captain Riemel Gulliver (also translated as Lemuel 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.
The first volume describes the party struggle of Lilliputian Lilliputian, and divides the camps according to the heel height. In fact, the "high-follower party" and the "low-follower party" are plotting against each other for power and profit, which is actually a dig at Britain, two political parties that are constantly fighting. Telling the story of Lilliputian Lilliputian fighting with neighboring countries is an allusion to the successive wars between Britain and France at that time.
In the second volume, Gulliver's triumphant introduction raises questions. A big country has a simple system and simple folk customs. They believe that the history of Britain in the past hundred years is full of "greed, partisanship, hypocrisy, dishonesty, cruelty, anger, madness, resentment, jealousy, lust, sinister and ambition" and its consequences. This satirizes the intrigue of British aristocratic bourgeois society and denounces the ugly nature of imperialist colonialists' aggression and expansion.
Volume III Leipita, Balny Babi, Lager nagel, Greta Cone and Japanese Travel Notes (Flying Island). Through the description of the flying island countries and other five countries, they expressed doubts about modern science and technology and severely condemned colonial rule.
Volume IV: Travel Notes of Hui Chuan (Malaysia). It also shows the grotesque phenomenon of inversion of man and beast in a wanton style. In this utopian country, the horse is the carrier of reason, while the humanoid "wild fox" is an evil and dirty beast. Gulliver's dialogue with Hui Jian became a merciless lash to the "human" society. Satire the evil, filth and ugliness of human society.
