Synopsis






Like his famous ancestor; Lemeul Gulliver Jr finds himself in a strange land amongst people with strange customs.  Gulliver is astounded to discover that women here are the dominant sex.  Along with all the other men, he finds himself harassed, abused, exploited.  Unfairly used at work, a domestic drudge at home, Gulliver begins to reflect on the workings of the society he once was proud to be part of ...
 

 

Review






The New Gulliver is a sparkling, entertaining satire on male domination and the double-binds that are imposed on women.

With a marvellous recreation of the original Gulliver's style, Esme Dodderidge expresses fierce indignation through a subtle and gentle mockery.

Comet Gets Its Close-Up
The second image of Comet Wild 2 from NASA's Stardust spacecraft shows a distant side view of the roughly spherical comet nucleus. Taken as Stardust approached comet after a 2 billion mile journey, the photo reveals one hemisphere in sunlight and the other in shadow, similar to a view of the quarter moon from Earth. On January 2, Stardust flew within 240 kilometers (149 miles) of the comet, catching particles to return to Earth in early 2006.
