Jonathan Swift – Gulliver's Travels – The Easton Press, Norwalk (CT), 1976

Edition note
Collector's Edition from the series "The 100 Greatest Books Ever Written", bound in genuine leather with wood engravings by Fritz Eichenberg.

Introduction
Jonathan Swift’s biting satire on human nature and society is celebrated in this handsome Easton Press edition. Featuring the intricate and expressive wood engravings of Fritz Eichenberg, this volume brings to life the fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver with a visual wit that matches Swift’s own.
​

Content
The novel recounts the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver to strange lands: Lilliput (inhabited by tiny people), Brobdingnag (a land of giants), Laputa (a flying island of impractical intellectuals), and the country of the Houyhnhnms (ruled by rational horses who govern brutish humans called Yahoos).
​
This edition includes the complete text of Swift’s masterpiece, enhanced by Fritz Eichenberg’s masterful wood engravings, originally created for the 1940 Heritage Press edition.
​
Features
Bound in full light brown (tan) genuine leather with ornate 22kt gilt decoration on the spine and covers, featuring a central gilt floral motif on the front.
​
​Hubbed spine with raised bands, all page edges gilt, and a silk ribbon marker. Printed on archival-quality paper with moiré fabric endpapers.
​
Condition
Fine condition.

Shipping
The book will be securely wrapped and shipped as an insured, tracked parcel.
