Born during one of England's most tumultuous periods, when the concept of individual liberty began to rise under a monarchy, facing considerable doubt and challenge. The author uses his fictional protagonist, "Gulliver," to voice his own perspectives. Through the protagonist's accidental voyages to the foreign lands of "Lilliput" and "Brobdingnag," he confronts a series of bizarre experiences and observations that feel both personal and unbelievable. Swift challenges trials of power and human nature, sharply reflecting the many absurd phenomena of contemporary politics, while also clearly outlining the vision of an "ideal state" in people's hearts, thus achieving the renowned work of fantasy satire, *Gulliver's Travels*. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry Born in Lyon, France, in 1900. At 21, he began his military career as a cavalryman. At 26, he became a mail pilot. Years later, he disappeared while on a flight mission. He was only 44 years old at the time. His 1943 publication, *The Little Prince*, brought him worldwide fame. Other notable works include *Night Flight* (also included in this volume), *Wind, Sand and Stars*, and *Airman's Odyssey*. Besides being a pilot, poet, and writer, Saint-Exupéry was also a soldier, husband, and father. He never forgot the little boy within his heart. The dreamlike story of *The Little Prince*, told through the innocent language of a young boy, conveys abundant emotion and poetic beauty. Between the lines lie profound philosophies on love and life, offering warmth and deep resonance. M.C.
