Gulliver’s Travels
“Narrator Jasper Britton is spirited and enthusiastic…Britton is adept at translating Gulliver’s outrage and disbelief at obstructionist lawyers, crooked politicians, needless wars, lack of education for girls, and everything else. The whinnying, horsey voice of the Houyhnhnms that Britton adopts is particularly noteworthy.”

In Gulliver’s Travels, listeners are taken into the realms of the fantastical as Lemuel Gulliver—after being shipwrecked, abandoned, and then accosted—is compelled to dwell among a series of extraordinary civilizations. From being incarcerated by a diminutive race to being shunned by a clan of superior horses, Gulliver’s far-ranging adventures are at once deliciously absurd and pertinently revealing.
The vulgarities and imbecilities of human nature are paraded before us in this novel that remains one of the most wonderful satires of all time.
