Gulliver's Travels [Audiobook, CD, Unabridged] [Audio CD]

Jonathan Swift (Author), David Case (Narrator)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2006

In Gulliver's Travels, the narrator represents himself as a reliable reporter of the fantastic adventures he has just experienced. But how far can we rely on a narrator who has been impersonated by someone else? The work purports to be a travel book, and describes the shipwrecked Gulliver's encounters with the inhabitants of four extraordinary places: Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the country of the Houyhnhnms. A consumately skillful blend of fantasy and realism makes Gulliver's Travels by turns hilarious, frightening, and profound. Swift's alter ego plays tricks on us, and our gullibility uncovers one of the world's most disturbing satires of the human condition.

This review is from: Gulliver's Travels (Audio CD)

David Case's rendering of Swift's Gulliver's Travels does the enduring classic justice. It's so funny, I found myself laughing and groaning out loud ... had to be careful to keep my eye on the road while listening to the gullible Gulliver's misadventures.
With Mr. Case's impeccable timing and acerbic edge, Gulliver's Travels easily makes the journey into the 21st Century and it's all-too-clear that we still need Dean Swift's indignation.
