Guliver's Travels

Jonathan Swift

Summary

Gulliver's Travels, originally Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships is a 1726 prose satire by the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman Jonathan Swift, satirising both human nature and the "travellers' tales" literary subgenre. It is Swift's best-known full-length work and a classic of English literature. The English dramatist John Gay remarked, "It is universally read, from the cabinet council to the nursery." The book has been adapted into films, movies and theatrical performances over the centuries. The book was an immediate success, and Swift claimed that he wrote Gulliver's Travels "to vex the world rather than divert it".

The Scientific Pioneer - When...

Nelson S. Bond

The Scientific Pioneer by Nelson S. Bond is a clever and heartfelt story that captures the spirit of discovery—and the price that sometimes comes with it. First published in the golden age of science fiction, it tells of a man whose brilliant ideas and tireless curiosity push him to the edge of what science can explain. Bond balances humor and humility as he explores how genius can both uplift and isolate. It’s a story that feels as relevant today as it did decades ago—a reminder that progress often depends on dreamers willing to risk everything for an idea.
Like many of Bond’s works, The Scientific Pioneer blends imagination with warmth. His characters aren’t distant heroes or villains but ordinary people caught in extraordinary situations. Beneath the scientific speculation lies a deep respect for human creativity—the kind that builds rockets, invents machines, or simply dares to ask “what if?”
Nelson S. Bond (1908–2006) was an American author whose lively imagination helped shape early pulp and magazine science fiction. Born in Scranton, Pennsylvania, he began his career as a journalist before becoming one of the most prolific short story writers of the 1930s and 1940s. His tales appeared in Amazing Stories, Astounding Science Fiction, and Blue Book, often featuring humor, irony, and unexpected twists.
Bond was best known for his Lancelot Biggs: Spaceman series, which combined scientific ingenuity with playful comedy. Beyond science fiction, he wrote mysteries, fantasies, and radio and television scripts, proving equally adept in every medium he touched. Though he later turned to other work, his early stories remain bright examples of pulp-era storytelling—energetic, human, and filled with wonder at what the future might hold.
