Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World... by Captain Lemuel Gulliver. London: Benj. Motte, 1726.
A crisp first edition of ‘Gulliver's Travels’ in a contemporary binding: Teerink’s ‘A’ edition. Swift's ahead-of-its-time utopian romp succeeds on many levels: as a Scriblerian satire, a burlesque travelogue, a moral fable, an anti-novel, an adventure in science fiction, a uniquely loved children’s book, and also a personal psychodrama. The novel left a lasting cultural impact, introducing terms like ‘Lilliputian’ into common language and being adapted into various media. Teerink 289.
2 volumes, octavo (191 x 122mm). Engraved frontispiece portrait of the author in the second state with vertical chain lines, 6 engraved plates (some faint staining in vol. I, a few minor marginal marks). Contemporary speckled calf, double gilt-ruled borders (expertly rebacked to style).
