Beehive's newest Illuminated Edition is Gulliver's Travels — Jonathan Swift's fantastical travelogue and savage satire of imperialist arrogance and human folly. Illustrated by the celebrated Italian artist Lorenzo Mattotti, and including original essays from author and comedian Patton Oswalt and scholar Elizabeth Bellamy.
It's all in the details
Each Illuminated Edition features a gorgeously embossed and debossed foil-stamped slipcase with a die-cut circular window allowing the reader to glimpse the cover art
Mattotti renders Gulliver's storied journey with more than sixty-five illustrations animated by wonder and strangeness, portraying Lilliput and Brobdingnag as genuinely disorienting places, beautiful and unmoored
Exquisite limited editions are only available through Beehive's web shop. These include special design features: a fully-illustrated clamshell case, original signed artwork, and built-in ribbon bookmarks
When you buy one of three exquisitely produced print editions of Gulliver's Travels directly from Beehive, you support all the work we do, tilting at windmills and creating preposterously beautiful editions of beloved works of literature, reinventing them for new generations through collaborations with visionary contemporary artists, scholars, and literary lovers.
You can spread the word by contacting your local independent bookstore—ordering through brick-and-mortar shops proves that there's interest and helps get the word out to others who might love our books as well.
