OPIS
Through a series of shipwrecks and misguided voyages, Gulliver is captured by miniature people who wage war because of a religious disagreement over how to crack eggs, is sexually assaulted by giants, visits a floating island, and decides that the society of horses is better than that of his fellow man. Tough, filthy, and incisive, this playful satire addresses--among other topics--politics, religion, and society is presented here in its unexpurgated entirety. Also included is Alexander Pope`s `Verses on Gulliver`s Travels,` which he wrote for his friend Swift and which were included in very early editions of the book.
