Gulliver's Travels (Original title - Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships), a misanthropic satire of humanity, was written in 1726 by Jonathan Swift. Like many other authors, Swift uses the journey as the backdrop for his satire. He invents a second author, Captain Lemuel Gulliver, who because of a series of mishaps en route to recognized ports, ends up, instead, on several unknown islands living with people and animals of unusual sizes, behaviors, and philosophies, but who, after each adventure, is somehow able to return to his home in England where he recovers from these unusual experiences and then sets out again on a new voyage.
Jonathan Swift (1667 - 1745) was an Anglo-Irish poet, writer and cleric who gained reputation as a great political writer and an essayist. Jonathan, who became Dean of St. Patrick's in Dublin, is also known for his excellence in satire. His most remembered works include Gulliver's Travels, A modest Proposal, An Argument against Abolishing Christianity and A Tale of a Tub.

Dans son traité de l'Art du mensonge politique, Jonathan Swift observait que le moyen le plus efficace pour combattre et détruire un mensonge est de lui opposer un autre mensonge... "le mensonge politique [étant] l'art de convaincre le peuple, l'art de faire croire au peuple des faussetés salutaires, pour quelque bonne fin". Ce court traité, qui redouble de façon ironique la leçon de Machiavel, a gardé toute sa pertinence : le mensonge aujourd'hui ressemble étrangement à celui d'hier.

Published anonymously in 1729, Jonathan Swift's satirical essay, A Modest Proposal, puts forth the darkly comical idea that the starving poor of Ireland might alleviate their economic condition by selling their children as food for wealthy gentlemen and ladies. At its core, Swift's Modest Proposal satirizes English exploitation of Ireland in particular and the heartless attitude that rich elites can develop towards the poor in general. Along with Gulliver's Travels, A Modest Proposal is an early English example of the black comedic genre.

A Tale of a Tub was the first major work written by Jonathan Swift, arguably his most difficult satire and perhaps his most masterly. 

The Tale is a prose parody divided into sections each delving into the morals and ethics of the English.

Composed between 1694 and 1697, it was eventually published in 1704.
