Following ship surgeon, Lemuel Gulliver, Jonathan Swift's satire, Gulliver's Travels, is a humorous critique of the darker aspects of human nature.

About this Author
Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer (first for Whigs, then for Tories), and poet, famous for works like Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal, The Journal to Stella, The Drapier's Letters, The Battle of the Books, and A Tale of a Tub. Swift is probably the foremost prose satirist in the English language, and is less well known for his poetry. Swift originally published all of his works under pseudonyms--such as Lemuel Gulliver, Isaac Bickerstaff, M. B. Drapier--or anonymously. He is also known for being a master of two styles of satire: Horatian and Juvenalian.
