Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

In this Graphic Classics version of a major eighteenth-century satiric novel, shipwrecked voyager Gulliver is cast ashore among the tiny Lilliputians, where he seems to be a giant, then among the giant Brobdingnags, where he seems as small as a mouse. His later visits to other kingdoms include the Country of the Houyhnhms--talking horses who demonstrate to Gulliver that humans, whom they call Yahoos, are disgraceful animals. Graphic Classics are graphic novel versions of immortal novels and plays, presented in a way to help make great literary works accessible to students, and encourage boys and girls to discover the joy of reading the masterworks in their original form. Titles in this series tell absorbing, fast-paced stories dramatized with high-quality color illustrations. Each Graphic Classics title includes a thumbnail biography of the author, a list of his or her important works, a timeline of historic events that helped inspire the story, general notes, and an index. Graphic Classics titles are available in both paperback and hardcover editions.
