Project Gutenberg 2010-11-12 Public domain in the USA. 205 Guliver, Robert Crates Mallotes ou Critica Dialogistica dos Grammaticos Defuntos contra a pedantaria do tempo Produced by Mike Silva "Crates Mallotes ou Critica Dialogistica dos Grammaticos Defuntos contra a Pedantaria do Tempo" by Guliver is a satirical work written in the late 19th century. The text explores themes of education, grammar, and the critique of pedantry through a dialogue between various fictionalized grammarians who have "passed on." It appears to tackle the decay of literary standards and educational practices by presenting humorous and critical discussions among the characters. The opening of the work introduces a character named Gúliver who finds himself in the island of the Dead—home to deceased grammarians. After surviving a shipwreck, he awakens in a luxurious bed tended by grammarians. The text begins with Gúliver reflecting on his past and the state of letters, as he engages in dialogues addressing the causes of "pedantaria." These discussions suggest a rich critique of educational and literary trends, illustrating the conflicts between genuine scholarly pursuits and pretentiousness in education. Through the humorous exchanges, the author aims to entertain while delivering sharp observations about the state of knowledge and its practitioners. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
