| book description |
An oversized, slipcase-housed, art book edition of GULLIVER’S TRAVELS, Jonathan Swift’s fantastical travelogue and piercing satire of imperialism, now illustrated with a vast suite of drawings from the renowned Italian graphic artist Lorenzo Mattotti, and original essays from comedian Patton Oswalt and scholar Elizabeth Bellamy. A surgeon turned castaway, Lemuel Gulliver sails into the absurd and the sublime in Jonathan Swift’s savage satire. He awakens shipwrecked among the six-inch citizens of Lilliput, later towers beneath the colossal gaze of Brobdingnagians. He debates floating philosophers in the airborne island of Laputa and recoils from the brutish Yahoos among the noble Houyhnhnms—horses more rational than man. Each voyage peels back the illusion of civilization, revealing hypocrisy, pride, and folly in human nature and the constructions of society. Now illustrated by the celebrated cartoonist, illustrator, fine artist and filmmaker Lorenzo Mattotti, with a suite of over sixty five illustrations, this kaleidoscopic adventure tale and scathing indictment human hubris is as bitingly funny and unnervingly prescient as ever. A stunning new entry in Beehive Books award-winning Illuminated Editions series, this volume is housed in a shimmering die-cut sculpturally embossed slipcase, printed on uncoated acid-free paper, and published in an oversized 9x12"" trim format.
