Lemuel Gulliver, a surgeon on a merchant
ship, is shipwrecked on the strange island
of Lilliput where the inhabitants are only
six inches tall. After they overcome their
timidity about the giant in their midst,
Gulliver becomes embroiled in the
islanders petty disputes about such
issues as whether it is better to break an
egg at the big end or the little end, the
rivalry between those who wear high
heels and those who prefer low heels,
and the ridiculous pomposity of their
miniature emperor.
This is not the end of Gulliver s
adventures, for he later finds himself on
Brobdingnag, where the natives are
incredibly tall; the flying island of Laputo,
where they intellectualise from dawn till
dusk; and, finally, the country of the wise "
Houyhnhnms and the vulgar Yahoos. All
human life is satirised here, from
politicians to priests and philosophers to
poets. And yes, the truth is that we re all
Yahoos.

评分《格列佛游记》以梅尔•格列佛的口气叙述了周游四国的经历。其作者根据当时英国的现象,创造了一个幻想世界,他成功塑造了一批生动、饱满、怪诞的形象,如长生人、“慧因”、“耶胡”等。他通过描述格列佛在各国的经历,反映出当时英国社会的现状,对议会中毫无意义的党...
评分这个全译本的《格列佛游记》,如果只看后两个部分,肯定不会认为是一本儿童读物。不过,原先,这本书也不是被看成儿童读物的。只是小人国、大人国的离奇想像和生动描述,才让小朋友们感兴趣。无论是过去还是现在的改编本,一般都是改的这两个部分。 第三部分的想像也很离奇,...
评分上学的时候老师就让我们读过,也给我们放过影片。现在印象也还挺深刻的。当时看完这本书感受很多,从这本书里我看到了太多社会的堕落,平民为了赚钱,把格列佛当做物品来展览拍卖,使他生不如死。一个个星期的故事从各个角度批判,讽刺了当时英国的混乱朝纲,贪婪,伪善,悟性...
评分从小就对小人国大人国的故事很是喜欢,对格列佛游记十分感兴趣。初中时语文书上有格列佛游记的节选,当时读得津津有味。可以说它大大拓宽了我童年时的想象空间,听闻到书中的几个来自奇异国度的新名词就足以让幻想半天。后来我对镜花缘和山海经的偏爱应该也来源于这本书吧。 但...
