Imagine an enthusiastic young man who encounters a scholar he idolizes. For decades, he accompanies this figure, meticulously recording everything his idol does or says: whom he visits, what he eats, with whom, in which pubs, and the conversations that unfold. Picture the scholar as witty, highly educated, tempestuous, quick-witted, and a profoundly contradictory, free, and fascinating spirit. The young man is sensitive and possesses a sense of humor. This scenario encapsulates the essence of the most famous biography of all time: James Boswell's life description of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the writer, lexicographer, and literary authority of the 18th century. From the captivating portrait of an extraordinary man emerges a vivid depiction of his era and our European culture.

Když angloirský spisovatel a kněz Jonathan Swift (30. 11. 1667 – 19. 10. 1745) vydal roku 1726 pod pseudonymem Lemuel Gulliver knihu Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, in Four Parts, by Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of several Ships (Cesty k několika vzdáleným národům světa ve čtyřech dílech, napsal Lemuel Gulliver, zprvu ranhojič a později kapitán na několikerých lodích), později zkráceně Gulliverovy cesty, byla během týdne vyprodaná. Přinášíme vám první a známější dvě části tohoto satirického pojednání o lidské povaze a zároveň parodie na tehdejší cestopisy – Cestu mezi trpaslíky žijící v zemi Lilliput a cestu k obrům z Brobdingangu. Protože jde o poměrně složitý a dlouhý text, některé pasáže jsme upravili a zkrátili.
