Irland: Dublin feiert 300 Jahre „Gullivers Reisen“
Die irische Hauptstadt widmet dem Schriftsteller Jonathan Swift im November ein Festival zum 300. Jahrestag seines Welterfolgs. Auch eine Kathedrale wird zum Schauplatz.
Dublin, Ireland's capital, is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the publication of Jonathan Swift's famous novel "Gulliver's Travels" from November 18th to 28th. The city is hosting the Jonathan Swift Festival, featuring performances, guided tours of the city, talks, and various events centered around the life, work, and legacy of Swift, who once served as Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
One of the highlights of the festival will be the performance of the musical "And Then There Was Gulliver" on November 26th, which explores the life of the author. Swift was born in Dublin in 1667, studied at Trinity College, and significantly influenced the city's cultural life. The novel "Gulliver's Travels" consists of four parts, recounting the voyages of Dr. Lemuel Gulliver, a physician, to the lands of the Lilliputians, the Brobdingnagians, the Houyhnhnms, and the Yahoos. Despite being published over three centuries ago, the novel remains a classic of world literature.
