(Complete and unabriged) - `In a little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin; when bending mine eyes downwards as much as I could, I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high.' Lemuel Gulliver, ship's surgeon and castaway, has awoken in Lilliput, where the size of the tiny inhabitants makes their concerns and quarrels seem ridiculous. A second journey takes him to the kingdom of giants, where again his size gives him new insights into human behaviour. Then, after he is cast adrift by pirates, Gulliver visits a series of islands where learning is misdirected and immortality is only misery. Gulliver's final voyage brings him to the land of the Houyhnhnms, horses with reason, who share their domain with the brutish Yahoos. He returns to England a changed man. Swift's corrosive satire embraces all aspects of humanity. It is witty when dealing with foibles and frailty, bitterly angry when facing pride and stupidity, but compassionate and unsentimental when focused upon suffering.

Broschiert. Condizione: New. 1a.ed. en esta colección. 185x125 mm. 152 p. Cartoné. Sprache: Spanisch, il. a color. NUEVO / NEU / NEW. Albert Pijuan, Premio Nacional de la Crítica en catalán por Tsunami (La gran ola) desgrana una idea factible y un plan mercantil viable para restablecer la armonía en el planeta. Resumiendo mucho: ¿por qué no comercializamos y comemos carne humana como hacemos con la de otros animales? Este librito explora e ilustra a todo color la sostenibilidad y la ética de un proyecto que, formalmente, encaja a la perfección en la lógica del capitalismo tardío. Valiéndose de las convenciones del ensayo, el panfleto e incluso el libelo, he aquí una ficción que arremete contra la buena conciencia (o la mala, o la falsa), y enseña cómo las palabras y las estadísticas justifican cualquier desvarío. Dos ficciones, de hecho, porque son dos los opúsculos recogidos en este volumen desvergonzado, cuyo genio está en la levedad y el contenido de verdad del chiste, la cuerda floja sobre la que hace equilibrismos el gesto más inteligente, civilizado y cortés que pueda haber en medio de este desastre: el humor.
