A review by cherise_tsang
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

5.0

The depth of Swift's satire against Newton, George I, and the English monarchy as a whole is brilliantly unrivalled, voraciously defending the Irish. He also offers interesting viewpoints on the idea of animal rationis capax, and with that, some ugly truths about humanity — what makes humans human? Does our ability to reason justify superiority over animals, or does that make us the worser parties?
