Book Description
Jonathan Swift's satirical novel was first published in 1726, yet it is still valid today. Gulliver's Travels describes the four fantastic voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a kindly ship's surgeon. Swift portrays him as an observer, a reporter, and a victim of circumstance. His travels take him to Lilliput, where he is a giant observing tiny people. In Brobdingnag, the tables are reversed, and he is the little person in a land of giants where he is exhibited as curious at markets and fairs. The flying island of Laputa is the scene of his next voyage. The people plan, and plot as their country lies in ruins. It is a world of illusion and distorted values. The fourth and final voyage takes him to the home of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses who rule the land.
