GULLIVER'S TRAVELS

As you know, we are going to read about the adventures of Gulliver in the exotic lands of 
the small creatures, the giants, a flying island full of scientists and the country of the smart 
horses.


The book was written by Jonathan Swift, an Irish writer who was first a politician and then a 
minister of the Church. He lived in the 18th century and, together with other writers, 
produced many of the popular TRAVEL BOOKS at the time. Do you know Robinson 
Crusoe? It is another book of adventures written in 1719 full of sea vogages and 
discoveries. Why do you think this kind of literature was so popular at the time? Do you 
think people in England travelled much in the early 18th century? Where to? What kind of 
vogages?





After reading, do the following exercises and points of reflection.
