Gulliver's Travels (audio Bilingual Classic)
About This Novel
"Gulliver's Travels" is an eighteenth-century travel satirical novel. The whole novel is divided into four parts, which respectively tell the adventures of the protagonist Gulliver in the Kingdom of Lilliput, the Kingdom of Adults, the Kingdom of Flying Islands and the Kingdom of Houyhnhnms. The storyline is interesting, fantastic and thrilling. At that time, the British Empire was bathed in the glory of "the sun never sets", and advocating personal adventure and encouraging the pursuit of wealth became the trend and social orientation of the times. "Gulliver's Travels" profoundly reflects such characteristics of the times. Gulliver is tolerant and modest, tolerant, tenacious, and brave. He not only pays attention to the living conditions of the upper class and the lower class people, but also reflects on the essential relationship between science, philosophy, literature, politics, and people's lives. While describing what Gulliver saw and heard, author Jonathan Swift also revealed the ugly nature of the greedy exploiters and cunning power-seekers in British society at that time.
