সঠিক উত্তর: Gulliver’s Travels
উক্তিটি Jonathan Swift এর Gulliver’s Travels থেকে নেওয়া হয়েছে। “Gulliver’s Travels” এর দ্বিতীয় অংশে, ব্রবডিংন্যাগের রাজা (King of Brobdingnag) গালিভারের কথাগুলো শুনে বলেছিলেন যে ইউরোপীয় মানুষ হলো “ক্ষুদ্র, ঘৃণ্য এবং সবচেয়ে ক্ষতিকর কীট।” অর্থাৎ মানুষ ক্ষুদ্র ও ক্ষতিকর। এই উক্তির মাধ্যমে Jonathan Swift ইউরোপীয় সমাজের অহংকার, দুর্নীতি ও মানুষের খারাপ স্বভাবকে তীব্রভাবে সমালোচনা করেছেন। তিনি পাঠককে হাস্যরসের মাধ্যমে মানুষের দুর্বল দিকগুলো চিন্তা করতে বলেন। Jonathan Swift এর কয়েকটি বিখ্যাত উক্তি: “Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own.” — The Battle of the Books “When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign, that the dunces are all in confederacy against him.” —Thoughts on Various Subjects “We have just enough religion to make us hate, but not enough to make us love one another.” A Tale of a Tub (1704) “A wise person should have money in their head, but not in their heart.”- A Modest Proposal (1729).
