Voyages du Capitaine Lemuel Gulliver, En Divers Pays Eloignes, Tome II de III
"Voyages du Capitaine Lemuel Gulliver, En Divers Pays Eloignes, Tome II de III" is a novel written in the early 18th century attributed to Jonathan Swift. This satirical work continues the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver as he explores fantastical lands, including Laputa and Balnibarbi, filled with strange creatures and peculiar societies. The narrative delves into various social, scientific, and political themes, utilizing Gulliver's unique encounters to critique contemporary society. The opening ofthis volume introduces Gulliver's third voyage, where he is captured by pirates but eventually finds himself on the floating island of Laputa. He describes his encounters with the Laputians, a society fixated on mathematics and music, but lacking practical abilities. As he learns about their customs and the scientific theories that preoccupy them, Gulliver observes the absurdities and drawbacks of their intellectual pursuits, notably their inability to engage in logical reasoning or communicate effectively. The chapter sets the stage for further exploration of the bizarre and often satirical take on human nature, society, and governance that marks Swift's narrative style.
