― Jonathan Swift, Gulliver’s Travels
Jonathan Swift was an Irish clergyman and writer. He is known most notably for classics such as ‘Gulliver’s Travels’ and ‘Drapier’s Letters’. “Travels into several remote nations” is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the “travellers’ tales” literary subgenre.
