Review
"Swift's world-famous satire was an instant bestseller...his vision is dark, often verging on the obscene" (Robert McCrum Guardian)
"It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery" (John Gay (author of The Beggar's Opera))
"It has entered the iconography of western culture as perhaps no other single novel, giving words to the English language and inspiring remarkably diverse acts of homage... A political comedy, an existentialist meditation, a bleak thriller about an outsider caught between worlds...at the heart of Swift's masterwork is an ennobling sadness, a lament for a world gone mad" (Joseph O'Connor Guardian)
"Among the six indispensable books in world literature" (George Orwell)
"Everyone standing for political office . . . should have a compulsory examination in Gulliver's Travels" (Michael Foot)
