On this most haunted day of the calendar year, we're celebrating the strange visions of Jonathan Swift and Lorenzo Mattotti. Far-flung worlds beyond the veil of the known; giants, dreamers, hyperintelligent ungulates; cities built out of mathematics and music. Our Kickstarter to fund an Illuminated Edition of GULLIVER'S TRAVELS, featuring art by and essays by and Elizabeth Bellamy, is like on Kickstarter at the link in our bio or at www.beehivebooks.com/gulliver.

⛵LIVE ON KICKSTARTER! Lorenzo Mattotti and Patton Oswalt reimagine GULLIVER'S TRAVELS. Three centuries after its scandalous debut, Swift's satirical adventure tale returns as a blazing new art book, brought to life by one of our greatest visual artists. Find it now at the link below.

A surgeon lost at sea washes ashore into worlds of giants and miniatures, floating cities, talking animals, forgotten civilizations and technological empires. A book disguised as a fantastical travelogue, then detonated as one of the fiercest cultural weapons in literary history. A humorous and imaginative assault on imperial violence, colonial pomposity, and the twisted heart of the "civilized" man.

Swift’s mad masterpiece has only grown sharper with time. Its tiny tyrants, vain privileged intellectuals, and endless wars feel eerily familiar in our age of unaccountable oligarchs and algorithmic empires. Beneath the absurdity and wonder, Swift saw the grotesque heart of progress without humility — and his vision still cuts to the bone.

Now illuminated with more than sixty images by Mattotti, and joined by essays from Patton Oswalt (RATATOUILLE, BOJACK HORSEMAN) and scholar Elizabeth Bellamy (TRANSLATIONS OF POWER), this new Illuminated Edition is a luminous fusion of art, satire, and storytelling. Presented in an oversized, die-cut, sculpturally embossed slipcase, it transforms a 1726 hoax into a modern work of vision — brilliant, biting, and utterly alive.

Back now, and join our campaign to usher this strange and glorious thing into the world.

Next week! takes us on a big adventure -- and a very tiny one too. Visit beehivebooks.com/gulliver to get lost at sea.

Guillermo Del Toro knows the truth! We only have four days left to fund A WONDER BOOK, Das Pastoras' Illuminated Edition of Nathaniel Hawthorne's adapted Greek myths, but with all the gods and monsters on our side we simply cannot fail.
