Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon on a merchant
ship, is shipwrecked on the strange island
of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only
six inches tall. After they overcome their
timidity about the giant in their midst,
Gulliver becomes embroiled in the
islanders petty disputes about such
issues as whether it is better to break an
egg at the big end or the little end, the
rivalry between those who wear high
heels and those who prefer low heels,
and the ridiculous pomposity of their
miniature emperor.
This is not the end of Gulliver s
adventures, for he later finds himself on
Brobdingnag, where the natives are
incredibly tall; the flying island of Laputo,
where they intellectualise from dawn till
dusk; and, finally, the country of the wise "
Houyhnhnms and the vulgar Yahoos. All
human life is satirised here, from
politicians to priests and philosophers to
poets. And yes, the truth is that we re all
Yahoos.

评分One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swift‘s satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horse...
评分 评分不知道为什么,看完《格列佛游记》,我心里的感觉是很沉重的,尤其是看到最后,船长再也无法接受人类社会中的“野胡”,终身回忆“慧骃”的种种美德。 我一直觉得慧骃国不是我这样的普通人能呆得下去的地方。一切建立在理性之上,没有人类社会的种种肮脏,但是也没有我作为一个...
