Gulliver's travels : into the several remote nations of the world
"My father had a small estate in Nottinghamshire: I was the third of five sons. He sent me to Emanuel College in Cambridge at fourteen years old, where I resided three years, and applied myself close to my studies; but the charge of maintaining me..." Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, commonly known as Gulliver's Travels (1726, amended 1735), is a prose satire by Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, that is both a satire on human nature and a parody of the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best known full-length work, and a classic of English literature. The book became popular as soon as it was published. The book begins with a short preamble in which Lemuel Gulliver, in the style of books of the time, gives a brief outline of his life and history before his voyages. He enjoys travelling, although it is that love of travel that is his downfall. Gulliver's Travels has been the recipient of several designations: from Menippean satire to a children's story, from proto-Science Fiction to a forerunner of the modern novel.

I viaggi di Gulliver. Ediz. ad alta leggibilità
Uno dei classici per ragazzi più amati di tutti i tempi, "I viaggi di Gulliver" di Jonathan Swift rappresenta per i giovani lettori un formidabile invito a osservare il mondo con occhi nuovi, da diverse prospettive. Paesi sconosciuti, civiltà bizzarre, principi opposti ai nostri: ogni tappa delle peregrinazioni del protagonista offre a bambini e ragazzi un momento di meraviglia e di riflessione. Nei suoi viaggi, Gulliver incontra uomini minuscoli che lo vedono come una minaccia, giganti che non riconoscono la sua dignità, intellettuali persi nelle proprie inesauribili elucubrazioni e, infine, cavalli pensanti che hanno creato una propria società pacifica, in accordo con la natura: una società in cui, però, i sentimenti non trovano posto. Tra satira e fantasy, con guizzo ironico e sarcastico, il romanzo di Swift ci accompagna alla ricerca di un mondo più giusto, in un viaggio di conoscenza che non può mancare in un percorso di formazione. Edizione Integrale a Leggibilità Facilitata: "I viaggi di Gulliver" del Battello a Vapore adotta il carattere di stampa Leggimi(c), una font che semplifica la lettura da parte di bambini con Disturbi Specifici dell'Apprendimento (DSA) e Bisogni Educativi Speciali (BES).
