Book Synopsis Space Gulliver by : Sampurna Chattarji
Download or read book Space Gulliver written by Sampurna Chattarji and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2020-01-25 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boldly playful, ingenious, associative and mercurial, Sampurna Chattarji's new poems careen through varied terrain, geographic and linguistic, in a dizzy journey of defamiliarization, as the alien protagonist, Space Gulliver, extends and challenges habitual ideas of what constitutes the mundane. In the process, she proceeds to recover for herself the sense of 'first-time-ness', the art of being 'vulnerable to every body that rests against mine, vulnerable to the word "eagle", the idea of the scar that the knife has left around the heart'. She also recovers the art of living on the edge - 'a good place to sit when you wish/ to regard the world you had insanely loved/ and now feel only a puzzled affection for'. Here is a book that blends intellectual enquiry, a taste for whimsy and a love of language into challenging and audacious poetry. -- Arundhathi Subramaniam

Book Synopsis Dimensional Transfer by : Darwin Jefferson
Download or read book Dimensional Transfer written by Darwin Jefferson and published by Darwin Jefferson. This book was released on 2023-07-03 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the year 2035, humanity faces an impending invasion from a species located three-hundred light years away from Earth. Unknowing to the Earth’s leadership and their militaries, a race of war fascists called the Mortellas Alliance had moved into a space sector on a moon near Mars, bringing them within striking distance from the planet Earth. Their mission was to conduct surveillance on the Earth. At the same time, their military and scientists collectively worked to develop an unknown secret weapon intended to be used to exterminate the inhabitants of the Earth. The story follows Colonel Raymond Adams, the Commander of the Earth’s first interstellar spacecraft code-named Gulliver. The vessel was designed from blueprints received through secret transmissions sent to American President Henry Nelson from a peaceful race called the Terrennians. The Terrennians provided the Earth’s leadership with advance warning of the impending invasion from the Mortellas Alliance along with coordinates of the location of their secret military base on the outer moon of Mars. The Gulliver’s spacecraft was named after the fictional character Gulliver, who explored unknown lands and encountered strange and fascinating creatures. The Space Command chose the name to signify the spirit of exploration and discovery that the Gulliver spacecraft represented in the eyes of the American people and the World. The crew of the Gulliver was carefully selected and trained for years to ensure they were fully prepared and mentally tested for the most crucial mission in the Earth’s history. The Gulliver crew members were some of the finest astronauts ever selected for the NASA space program and the best in their chosen specialties and fields. The Pentagon’s and NASA leaderships believed the Gulliver’s Commander and crew members could be the key to the survival of Earth and humanity. I invite you to travel with Colonel Raymond Adams and the crew of the Gulliver interstellar spacecraft as they bridge numerous obstacles, battle the Mortellas Alliance, and forge new alliances while building a solid and cohesive team.
Book Synopsis British Discovery Literature and the Rise of Global Commerce by : A. Neill
Download or read book British Discovery Literature and the Rise of Global Commerce written by A. Neill and published by Springer. This book was released on 2002-05-10 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: British Discovery Literature and the Rise of Global Commerce examines how, between 1680 and 1800, British maritime travellers became both friends and foes of the commercial state. These nomadic characters report on remote parts of the globe in the twin contexts of an increasingly powerful imperial state and an emerging world economy. Examining voyage narratives by William Dampler, Daniel Defoe, Jonathan Swift, Tobias Smollett, Samuel Johnson, James Cook, and William Bligh, Neill demonstrates how the transformation of travellers from nomadic outlaws into civil subjects , and vice versa, takes place against the political-economic backdrop of commercial expansion.

Book Synopsis Gulliver’s Voyage to Phantomimia. A transcreation by Douglas Robinson by : Volter KILPI
Download or read book Gulliver’s Voyage to Phantomimia. A transcreation by Douglas Robinson written by Volter KILPI and published by Zeta Books. This book was released on with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the great Finnish modernist genius Volter Kilpi died in the summer of 1939 at the age of 64, he left behind an unfinished novel manuscript about Lemuel Gulliver’s fifth voyage—this one supposedly to the North Pole, though along the way the ship is sucked into a vortex near the Pole and hurtled two centuries ahead in time. He and three surviving shipmates end up in London in 1938, wondering how to get back to their time. In addition to translating what Kilpi wrote into Swiftian English, Douglas Robinson has here written the incomplete novel to the end, based on Kilpi’s report to his son on how he planned to return the men to 1738. Because Kilpi also playfully pretended to have “found” the original English manuscript, presumably written by Lemuel Gulliver himself, and “translated” it into Finnish, Robinson goes along with that pretense and pretends to have rediscovered and “edited” and “annotated” the original English manuscript—written, perhaps, not by Gulliver but (at least partly) by Jonathan Swift. The addition of Robinson’s English translation of Volter Kilpi’s “translator’s preface” and two fictional constructs—anonymous “random notes toward a vorticist manifesto” (1914) and an ersatz “reader’s report” by an imaginary Finnish Kilpi scholar named Julius Nyrkki—transforms the entire volume into a postmodern “critical edition” that would have tickled Volter Kilpi pink.

He is most famous for the novel Gulliver’s Travels [1726] and the essay A Modest Proposal [1729].

Book Synopsis Political Philosophy in Gulliver’s Travels by : Lloyd W. Robertson
Download or read book Political Philosophy in Gulliver’s Travels written by Lloyd W. Robertson and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-07-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyzes Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels from a political philosophy perspective. When authors have focused on politics in Swift’s writings, this has usually meant a study of how Swift located himself on issues of his day such as church and state, and Ireland. Robertson claims by contrast that Gulliver’s Travels is fundamentally a book about the “ancients” (e.g. Plato, Aristotle), and the “moderns” (science and technology), and their contrasting views about the human condition. The claim that the Travels is “a kind of prolegomena” to political philosophy leaves open the possibility that it does not achieve, or seek to achieve, a fusion of various teachings but rather uses the device of alien societies to point us to uncomfortable aspects of political philosophy’s “larger questions” we are prone to ignore. Swift, Robertson argues, draws our attention to some version of the classical republic, as idealized in Aristotle’s political writings and in Plato’s Republic, as opposed to a modern regime which, at its best or most intellectual, emphasizes modern science and technology in combination as a way to improve the human condition.

Download or read book Gulliver's Travels and Other Writings written by Jonathan Swift and published by Bantam Classics. This book was released on 1984-09-01 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nominated as one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read “It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery,” remarked Alexander Pope when Gulliver's Travels was published in 1726. One of the unique books of world literature, Swift's masterful satire describes the astonishing voyages of one Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, to surreal kingdoms inhabited by miniature people and giants, quack philosophers and scientists, horses endowed with reason and men who behave like beasts. Written with great wit and invention, Gulliver's Travels is a savage parody on man and his institutions that has captivated readers for nearly three centuries. As bestselling author and critic Allan Bloom observed: “Gulliver's Travels is an amazing rhetorical achievement. Swift had not only the judgment with which to arrive at a reasoned view of the world but the fancy by means of which he could re-create that world in a form which teaches where argument fails and which satisfies all while misleading none.” This representative collection of Swift’s major writings includes the complete Gulliver’s Travels as well as A Tale of a Tub, “The Battle of the Books,” “A Modest Proposal,” “An Argument Against Abolishing Christianity,” “The Bickerstaff Papers,” and many more of his brilliantly satirical works. Here too are selections from Swift’s poetry and portions of his Journal to Stella. Swift’s savage ridicule, corrosive wit, and sparkling humor are fully displayed in this comprehensive collection.
