Maldonada is a fictional city from the book of ''Gulliver's Travels'' by Jonathan Swift. It was the main port of the kingdom of Balnibarbi. ==Location== The location of Maldonada is illustrated in both the text and the maps in Part III of ''Gulliver's Travels'', though they are not consistent with each other. Maldonada is described in the text as being 150 miles from the capital, Lagado, on the kingdom's Pacific coast (ie to the south) and that the island of Luggnagg, which is 100 leagues distant to the north-west.〔''Gulliver's Travels'' (GT), part III, ch 7: Oxford World Classic (OWC) p180〕〔GT pt III, ch8: OWC p189〕 and is said to be 5 leagues distant from the island of Glubdubdrib, to the southwest.〔GT pt III, ch7: OWC p180〕 However the map at the beginning of Pt III〔GT pt III, ch1: OWC p140〕 places Maldonada on the south-west coast of Luggnagg, with Glubdubdrib to the southwest of that island. A further map, of the kingdom of Balnibarbi〔GT pt III, ch3: OWC p156〕 shows the port again, on the kingdoms south-east coast, but names it “Malonada”. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Maldonada (Gulliver's Travels)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
