adventurous slow-paced

Un peu déçue de pas avoir plus accroché que ça mais c’est à dire que le premier voyage j’ai eu l’impression de revoir le film que j’ai regardé y a quelques mois, le deuxième c’est littéralement un copié collé mais les personnages sont géants au lieu d’être minuscules, et les deux derniers j’étais juste plus du tout motivée pour me concentrer.

That sure was a literary classic.
Entertaining to read, amusing and sometimes surprisingly cutting criticisms of Britain, colonialism and Western philosophy. Sometimes a bit hard to follow reading three hundred years distant, but generally very transparent satire or just plainly ridiculous. A silly little guy.

I'm sure this will only get more interesting as I look up more context than I already have.

A good tale of travelling and to see the world a bit as a Martian would to ours! All the foilbles of mankind and the weakness of the mindset of the travelling conquerer lie within. Descriptions become dry but more a sign of times of writing gone by. A classic of reference to add to the arsenal.

It is sad to come to the conclusion that in 300 years time , mankind hasn’t been able to change the course of its moral compass .
All the deficiencies Gulliver sees in the behavior of his fellow men in the early 1700’s are still seen today .
But his travel journal is a joy to read !

I laughed occasionally. It is worth a read, but there are more interesting books out there.
