Sinossi

What if your greatest discoveries lay not in new lands—but in human nature itself?

Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is more than a fantastical voyage—it is a searing satire of politics, science, pride, and the absurdities of the modern world. First published in 1726, this classic follows Lemuel Gulliver as he embarks on four surreal journeys: from the miniature people of Lilliput to the giants of Brobdingnag, the philosophical horses of Houyhnhnms, and beyond.

Swift's sharp wit and imaginative genius transform a travelogue into one of the most enduring commentaries on society ever written. Whether read as an adventure, a political allegory, or philosophical fiction, Gulliver's Travels captivates readers of all ages.

This illustrated and annotated edition includes original engravings and contextual notes to enhance understanding and enjoyment.

"A masterpiece of satire that never goes out of style." — The New York Times
"Still astonishing in its relevance, brilliance, and bite." — The Guardian

    What do you call an actuary with a sense of humour?  
    An outlier. 
    From the author of Confessions of an Actuarial Tutor comes this collection of more than 670 jokes that only actuaries will find funny (though probably only because they have such low standards for humour). 
    Containing the very best classic actuarial jokes, such as: 
    How can you spot an extroverted actuary at a party?  
    He’s the one staring at someone else’s shoes.  
    As well as stacks of new jokes created especially for this book, such as: 
    Why was the actuarial vampire fired?  
    Because she was afraid of the stakeholders. 
    With jokes covering actuaries and their (lack of) personality and social life. Along with jokes on pensions, insurance, finance, mortality, statistics, Excel and even accountants. By the Law of Averages, you’re sure to find something that will eventually make you almost laugh.

    "Things used to be easier, but even in those carefree days, the rules were in place for a reason. And that reason is: so we can all agree. So we can all have the same standard applied across the board. So there is no special treatment, which no one should receive. This is why we need the rules." 
     
     
     
    The stories in Avalanche combine humor with an earnest examination and indictment of white entitlement, guilt, shame, and disorientation in the wake of waking up to the reality of racism. Focusing on the perspective of white, cis, straight, and mostly middle-aged and middle-class characters, this collection shines a light on the obliviousness of white privilege, the violence of polite, quiet racism hiding just under the surface of mundane, everyday situations, and the anguished flailing of "well-intentioned white ladies" desperate to confirm their essential goodness at all costs. Westhead writes with compassion and empathy for both her frustrating and frustrated white protagonists and the racialized characters who encounter them, and uses humor not to comfortably distance white readers from the harmful behavior of her self-absorbed protagonists, but to pull them in close to recognize—and reckon with—those familiar parts of themselves, and to become more aware of the insidious systems of white supremacy at work behind the scenes.
