The New Gulliver is a satirical novel written by Wendell Phillips Garrison and published in 1898. The book is a parody of Jonathan Swift’s classic novel Gulliver’s Travels, and follows the adventures of a modern-day Gulliver as he travels to various countries and encounters strange and absurd situations.The novel is divided into four parts, each of which takes place in a different country. In the first part, Gulliver travels to the land of the Lilliputians, where he discovers a society that is obsessed with technology and efficiency. In the second part, he visits a country where everyone is equal, but also equally miserable. In the third part, he encounters a society of artists who have abandoned all practical skills in favor of pursuing their creative passions.Finally, in the fourth part, Gulliver travels to a country that is ruled by a group of powerful corporations. Here, he witnesses the exploitation of workers and the destruction of the environment in the pursuit of profit.Throughout the novel, Garrison uses humor and satire to comment on various social and political issues of his time, including industrialization, socialism, and the power of corporations. The New Gulliver is a witty and entertaining read that offers a unique perspective on the world of the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
