dear reader!I invite you to escape from the manner of writing characteristic of the XVIII century, and followed me to focus on the main ideas of the great novel.After reading the article, you will realize how much time for England XVIII century created by Jonathan Swift, "Gulliver's Travels"!Summary of the novel plunges us into a journey of four British Odyssey - Gulliver, first a surgeon land, then brave captain sailing Ladies Seas.
consider the first part of the novel, she is deeply in public.Castaway Gulliver becomes a prisoner of the Lilliputians.The author subtly ridiculed farfetched concept of inter-party contradictions Lilliput: the height of heels, which side to break the egg.Summary of the story "Gulliver's Travels" in the art form a bipartisan puppet shows futility of confrontation bourgeois.Ironically described "humanity" of a democratic society of the country shorties.Captivity with the help of "Mountain Man" the enemy fleet, the Lilliputians then decide to kill him.And the most humane of the dwarfs - Reldresel, Secretary of secret affairs, offering "only" Gulliver gouge out his eyes, his physical strength and then would serve the public.(Dropping the bright colors of the master narrative, for the first part of the novel get just such a summary.) "Gulliver's Travels" denounces the principle of modern British society Swift - "the state above all else."The writer takes off the mask, clearly shows that this leads to cruelty, injustice in relation to the common man.Doctor of Divinity reveals how frail shapeless crowd dwarfs combined inhuman state idea is transformed into a monster.Lemuel, using a passing British sailing vessel, runs away from this state of small butchers.
In the second part of the novel Gulliver gets to Brobdingneg - country giants.It would seem that the situation has changed a mirror, and even naive reader can predict for the second part of the novel its summary."Gulliver's Travels", however, its further story refutes this idea.The talent of the great Irishman and there is fresh paint for your palette.The writer shows how the vast state bureaucracy relates to the needs of the common man, experiencing immediate needs.His looking at, talking to him as a monkey, but his aspirations are faced with the "ingenuous naive misunderstanding" giants.(What beautiful words found a writer!) Thoughtful reader understands that "good mine" giants only evidence of a "bad game", ie. E. Insolvency arrangement of society pachyderms rulers.In real life, in such a mask powerful people are greed, hypocrisy, ambition, envy, lust.The last words are not invented by the author, they are from a review of the Swift, emphasized that the second part of "the King plunged in astonishment."
The third part Lemyuel gets to the island, which flies - Laputa.This is perhaps the most striking part of the novel by Jonathan Swift.This brilliant prediction of the future virtual society, immersed in the "News and Politics".Indeed, in the state arrangement of Laputa stand out features of the society of the XXI century, it is easy to see, even a cursory reading summary."Gulliver's Travels", a closer reading of the job description affects people- "flappers" (in our understanding of advertising agents) that attract public attention to the things offered for sale.On the island there is another category of people, which you will easily recognize.It projectors (we call these "creatives").Having trained not know where they came, and having seen that somewhere something is on the island in order to function, start a "something" to change, optimize, bringing it to the point of absurdity.As is familiar to employees of modern corporations!How often I want to get rid of these pests in three neck!
fourth and final part of Gulliver's odyssey takes us to the noble horses, Houyhnhnms as they call themselves.They serve them humanoid creatures echo.Do not you think, readers that allegory is even this brief summary?"Gulliver's Travels" in its fourth part - is a call for people not to mutilate themselves by civilization, carefully preserve the best quality of data on the nature of man: modesty, love, friendship, loyalty.Significantly, he Lemuel Gulliver, who originally Houyhnhnms given credibility by offering shelter at home, does not stand up "examination on humanity."He is banished, being qualified by the court as an echo of the horses.
abbot of St. Dublin.Patrick, a doctor of theology Jonathan Swift was not a rebel, but he was a citizen, his ailing big heart for all of society.Such people that they - the conscience of the nation.Swift wrote his great book at the turn of the XVII century, breaking the boundaries of traditional, canonical literature.Roman-fiction novel-travel novel-pamphlet full of satire on the existing foundations - it was a real "bomb", a sensation, which had an impact on all the English society of the XVIII century.It is hoped that the best film adaptation of "Gulliver" - in the future, she expects his Master, just as "Munchausen" waited Oleg Yankovsky.
