This English/French edition of Jonathan Swift's classic book "Gulliver's Travels" is useful for French speakers wanting to learn English, English speakers wanting to learn French, or persons who know both languages but want to conveniently compare the original with the translation side by side.

I know several learned men have contended that the whole is a cheat; that it is absurd...
