Acerca de esta escucha

Lemuel Gulliver, a slightly staid ship’s doctor, relates the tales of his astonishing travels. He encounters the tiny, warring Lilliputians; the giant, sceptical Brobdingnagians; the ludicrously intellectual Laputans; and the idealistic - if rather stolid - Houyhnhnms and their bestial servants, the Yahoos. An immediate best seller when it was first published in 1726, Gulliver’s Travels has remained a favourite ever since. It was an attack on the politics and society of Swift’s day, but it is also a polemical, inventive, surreal, vitriolic, and wonderfully imaginative masterpiece, whose powerful satire continues to strike home.

An hour into the narrative and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I adore satire, and Britton is marvelous. TBC

A Continual Review

The reader did a wonderful job, especially with the Hooinym (sp?) portions. Brilliant! And I found this classic more engaging than I'd expected.

terrific reader

This is a wonderful story and very well read! Author was incredibly entertaining. Highly recommend!

Perfect reader for the story

A long way from the typical children's adaptations! More of a time capsule giving a series of views on European society as explained to all the strange characters in strange lands.

I wouldn't really call it a novel or flowing story, but well worth the listen. Nicely read and nicely produced.

18th century satirical science fiction for adults

I don't need to tell you that this book is classic. I did not expect the stories of Gulliver's adventures to be so thought provoking. Colonialism, politics, legal systems, and so on. What on first blush sound like "fairy tales" turn out to be perfect devices for thinking about some of the most important questions that humankind faced in 1700 and continue to wrestle with today.

The narrator does an excellent job. Very very clear. Delivers the entire book with just the right tone. A few of his accents are a little weird (Portuguese sounds German at one point), but it really makes no difference and is short-lived.

I highly recommend. I am very glad I decided to listen to this.

Much Deeper and Thought Provoking Than I Expected

Great narration and a wonderful, classic story kept me satisfied and interested while at work.

All around really great experience

I don’t know whether this is boring because of the reader or it’s just worse than I remember but gosh this is boring.

Bland

A great story, and far more fantastic than I imagined. I was surprised how much insight into swift's own world is present. The academy that I sits that its ideas will work if only everything wasn't against them, and the people who begin impossible projects only to blame their failures on those they give the task to.
The saddest part is the increasing degree by which Gulliver becomes increasingly in human, that he degenerates as a husband and a father.
It is an interesting commentary on various views of human nature.
Lastly, the only thing I didn't care for is that when the reader switches to the voice of another character, he continues in that voice, even when the perspective shifts to Gulliver.

Crazy how much is relevant today.

The story can be extremely monotonous, but the reading is very well done. Would recommend this to anyone interested in the book, you can't do better. My favorite part of the book is the last quarter of it, so you have to get through some boring parts to reach the best ones.

Excellent

The quality of the book has been attested to by time, but bad narrators can certainly make this Brobdignagian work seem a bit more Liliputian. This narrator, however, is a worthy reader, and would make even the Houyhnhnms proud, if they understood pride, that is.

A classic with a worthy narrator
