Tetralogiya «Puteshestviya Gullivera» davno stala klassikoy - eto ne prosto zahvatyvayuschie priklyucheniya, a ironichnaya satira na chelovecheskie i obschestvennye poroki.
Lemyuel Gulliver, skromnyy korabelnyy vrach, otpravlyaetsya v morskoe plavanie i posle korablekrusheniya popadaet v sovershenno fantasticheskie miry. V odnom on stanovitsya nastoyaschim gigantom sredi kroshechnyh liliputov, v drugom sam prevraschaetsya v igrushku dlya velikanov. Emu na puti vstretyatsya guigngnmy - razumnye loshadi, kotorye kazhutsya bolee mudrymi, chem sami lyudi, a takzhe strannye yehu, v kotoryh on s uzhasom uznaet rod chelovecheskiy.
Kazhdaya novaya strana - eto absurdnyy, smeshnoy i inogda pugayuschiy mir, otrazhayuschiy nashi sobstvennye slabosti, zabluzhdeniya i gubitelnye strasti. V etoy knige est vse: uvlekatelnyy syuzhet, ostryy yumor, tonkaya satira i razmyshleniya o tom, chto zhe vse-taki delaet nas lyudmi...
V nastoyaschem izdanii originalnyy tekst romana privoditsya s parallelnym perevodom A. A. Frankovskogo, velikolepnogo znatoka angliyskoy literatury, v soprovozhdenii izyskannyh illyustratsiy knizhnogo hudozhnika-grafika Ch. E. Broka, kotorye po-novomu raskryvayut atmosferu stranstviy Gullivera. V oformlenii forzatsev ispolzovany izvestnye illyustratsii frantsuzskogo hudozhnika Zh. Granvilya.
Parallelnyy tekst, privedennyy v knige, delaet ee osobenno poznavatelnoy i poleznoy dlya izucheniya angliyskogo yazyka.
