Jonathan Swift
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift is one of the greatest satirical works ever written. Through the misadventures of Lemuel Gulliver, his hopelessly “modern” protagonist, Swift exposes many of the follies of the English Enlightenment, from its worship of science to its neglect of traditional philosophy and theology. Swift’s satire on the threats posed by the Enlightenment and the embryonic spirit of secular fundamentalism makes Gulliver’s Travels priceless reading for today’s defenders of tradition. This new critical edition, edited by Dutton Kearney of Aquinas College, contains detailed notes to the text and a selection of tradition-oriented essays by some of the finest contemporary Swift scholars.

"A narcissistic polyglot abandons his wife and daughter for increasing periods of time to be lost at sea and dragged back by bizarrely polite sea captains who enable his delusions. Does get shot for accosting a family in a raft made from human skins. Returns to emotionally and psychologically abuse his family for the rest of his days. Loves horse ****. One star because I did like the philosopher and sorcerer islands."
