Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin, Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) published this fourfold fable in 1726. Since then, mainly thanks to the universal success in the field of children's literature from the first part, specifically trip to Liliput (only a fraction of the adventures and countries that invented this book), has become a classic of wide circulation and essential degree of social and political satire, a genre that also Swift implemented, masterfully, in works such as History a bathtub (1704) or Modest proposal to prevent the children of the poor are a burden to their parents (1729). Typical of him, the author puts into the mouths of others here own and others' opinions (the ravings and attitudes as aceradamente ridicule: intrigues, degeneration of morals, hypocrisy ...) (the book was published anonymously). Soon we see that under the guise of the fun beat most serious accents, the more somber as the action progresses. You can not understand this work without the precedent of chronic rating and discoverers in time when England was mistress of the seas. But as pointed out by Paul Muldoon, Gulliver's Travels has to be read also in the light of the ancient Irish tales known as Immrama, these stories of extraordinary voyages of which the trip Bran (Brendan or our San Barandán) or Crossing Máel Dúin (which adapt Tennyson) are exponents. On other issues, censorship or bashful hand removed the eschatological events of the plot. This new translation of Antonio Rivero Taravillo maintained in style and spirit, grace, innocence and playfulness of the original.Gulliver's Travels has been filmed many times and with different languages, from the animation of Max Fleischer in 1939 to the satirical version of Czech filmmaker Pavel Juracek 1970 under the title The case of a novice Executioner
