The topic under discussion is “Social satire in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels”. Although Swift was considered by many a misanthropist, a work like Gulliver's Travels could have been produced only by a man who cared deeply about humanity. Paradoxically, his care shines throughout his work.This paper takes a look at a book enjoyed by generations of readers, a multi-sided book which is still relevant to today’s society. The topic under discussion is: “Social satire in Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels”. Swift’s masterpiece is a sophisticated satire on human nature, often criticized for its apparent misanthropy. Each of the four books has a different theme, but they are all meant to deflate human pride. Some of the critics consider this unique work to be a satiric reflection on the shortcomings of Enlightenment thought.Swift is one of the most complex personalities in English letters whose disillusionment took an indignant turn. He wrote his satires to point out faults, to chasten, and to educate in an attempt to give the public a new moral lens and to "shame men out of their vices."In the growing polish and decency of society, Swift saw only a mask for hypocrisy and he used his huge talent to point to the ugliness which he discovered under every beautiful exterior. Although Swift was considered by many a misanthropist, a work like Gulliver's Travels could have been produced only by a man who cared deeply about humanity. Paradoxically, his care shines throughout his work. Views: 445

Tara's garden has a Brownie. Brownies like to play tricks on their fellow faerie folk. But what will happen when Bran plays a prank on a dragon?This book contains six of the eighteen fairy tales from Andrew Lang's Blue Fairy Book (1889). The stories have been rewritten sentence by sentence to make them accessible to 21st century American children. The 6 stories include Toads and Diamonds, Beauty and the Beast, Snow-white and Rose-red, Why the Sea is Salty, Felicia and the Pot of Carnations, Hansel and Grettel.The great beauty of Andrew Lang’s Blue Fairy Book, originally published in 1889, is that it brought together many different fairy tale traditions. There are stories written by Charles Perrault and Mme d’Aulnoy, collected by the Grimm brothers and Asbjornsen and Moe, and translated from the Arabian Nights. It is a very rich collection of fairy tales.However, the stories are written in a language that is outdated and in places inaccessible to modern American children (and even their parents). To remedy this problem, I have thoroughly edited half of the stories contained in Lang`s book, keeping the stories as intact as possible, while revising every sentence so the stories can once again be read with pleasure by children.
