Jonathan Swift's masterpiece is the finest satire in the English
language. Shipwrecked traveler Lemuel Gulliver finds himself washed
ashore in Lilliput, a kingdom populated by tiny people. Fascinated by
their exotic visitor, the Lilliputians enlist Gulliver's services in
their bitter civil war. But Gulliver becomes the object of a court
intrigue and has to make a hasty escape. On his next voyage, his ship is
blown off course to Brobdingnag, whose giant inhabitants strike him as
horrific and occasionally revolting. A third journey takes him to
Laputa, a floating island occupied by pedantic scientists and
philosophers. Finally, he encounters a society of rational horses, the
Houyhnhnms, and witnesses the appalling behaviour of their servants the
Yahoos, a group who are in many ways disturbingly similar to Man at his
most bestial. Swift's brilliantly original story is a timeless portrait
of the human condition in all its misery and majesty.
The poem satirizes a petty squabble by comparing it to the epic world of the gods. It was based on an incident recounted by Pope's friend, John Caryll. Arabella Fermor and her suitor, Lord Petre, were both from aristocratic recusant Catholic families at a period in England when under such laws as the Test Act, all denominations except Anglicanism suffered legal restrictions and penalties (for example Petre could not take up his place in the House of Lords as a Catholic). Petre, lusting after Arabella, had cut off a lock of her hair without permission, and the consequent argument had created a breach between the two families. Pope, also a Catholic, wrote the poem at the request of friends in an attempt to "comically merge the two." He utilized the character Belinda to represent Arabella and introduced an entire system of "sylphs," or guardian spirits of virgins, a parodized version of the gods and goddesses of conventional epic.
The Way of the World is a play written by British playwright William Congreve. It premiered in 1700 in the theatre in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London. It is widely regarded as being one of the best Restoration comedies written and is still performed sporadically to this day.
This grammar has been written specially for non-Norwegians. Our aim has been to give a simple, step-hy-step presentation of the grammatical rules and systems of Norwegian «bokmâl», one of the two official written variants of Norwegian. The many examples given throughout the book assist the reader in practical usages which have proved difficult for those learning the language. As the intention of this book is to give a practical guide to modern Norwegian as it is used in an everyday context, emphasis has been given to providing translations of the Norwegian examples which are as colloquial and idiomatic as possible. The British English variants used throughout in the translations may on occasion appear unfamiliar to speakers of. for example. American English, but this should not be an obstacle to a full understanding of the text.
