Gulliver's Travels - A Dazzling Journey Through Lilliput Brobdingnag and the Depths of Human Folly

Jonathan Swift, Zenith Golden Quill

Sinopsis

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

The Becket List Volume II - Even...

Henry Becket

A sequel to the original and highly therapeutic "Becket List"...a compendium of the trivial but oh-so-phenomenally-irritating things that bedevil everyday life. Here you will find that you are not alone in having issues with phrases like - well - "having issues with", as well as supposedly inanimate objects like carparks, newfangled doorhandles and badly translated menus...not to mention other people's behaviour, like the way that French drivers negotiate roundabouts or that dramatic chewing gum masticators advertise their enjoyment.

I'll Just Be Five More Minutes -...

Emily Farris

A hilariously-honest, heartwarming essay collection about life, love, and discovering you have ADHD at age 35   Despite being a published writer with a family, a gaggle of internet fans, and (most shockingly) a mortgage, Emily Farris could never get her sh*t together. As she saw it, disorganization was one of her countless character flaws—that is until she was diagnosed with ADHD at age 35. Like many girls who go undiagnosed, Emily grew up internalizing criticisms about her impulsivity and lack of follow-through. She held onto that shame as she tried (and often failed) to fit into a world designed for neurotypical brains.  I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is a personal essay collection of laugh-out-loud-funny, tear-jerking, and at times cringey true stories of Emily's experiences as a neurodivergent woman. With the newfound knowledge of her ADHD, Emily candidly reexamines her complicated relationships (including one with a celebrity stalker), her money problems, the years she spent unknowingly self-medicating, and her hyperfixations (two words: decorative baskets).    A memoir-in-essays both entertaining and enlightening, I'll Just Be Five More Minutes is for people with ADHD, as well as those who know and love them. This is a powerful collection of deeply relatable, wide-ranging stories about a woman's right to control her own body, about overwhelm and oversharing, about drinking too much and sleeping too little, and about being misunderstood by the people closest to you. At its heart, I’ll Just Be Five More Minutes is about not quite fitting in and not really understanding why—something we’ve all felt whether we're neurodivergent or not.
