Gulliver's Travels (Illustrated by Jean de Bosschere): Voyages to Lilliput and Brobdingnab
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.
