Description

Lemuel Gulliver's love of travel and inability to stay on course deliver him to unexpected visits with the very short Lilliputians, the very large Brobdingnagians, the very reasonable Houynhms - who are horses, and the excessively scientific citizens of Laputa. A classic of English literature, Gulliver's Travels has amused children and fascinated adults for nearly three centuries.

This edition features over 60 black and white line drawings by Jean de Bosschere, a Belgian artist and writer, whose visual style was strongly influenced by Aubrey Beardsley, and also - given his ability to precisely define characters with the sparsest use of lines - prefigures Edward Tufte.

4 full color illustrations from the original version are shown in grayscale in this edition; the color versions appear on the back cover.
