Gullivers Reisen III
Jonathan Swift
The first German translation of Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels, Hamburg 1727 – barely a year after the London original – newly transcribed from the Fraktur of three surviving copies, with notes, a glossary of old words with links to Adelung and Zedler, and the plates. Edited by Bernhard Trebuch. Volume III (1728) is not by Swift: it translates the spurious London continuation of 1727 – a second voyage to Brobdingnag, then Sporunda and Severambia, borrowed from Vairasse – followed by Signor Carolini’s «Key», Curll’s satirical commentary on all four voyages. Reading sample: the introduction and the first chapter of the second voyage to Brobdingnag, with the glossary.
