About the book

Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels follows Lemuel Gulliver on a series of extraordinary voyages to unfamiliar lands. He first encounters the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput, then the giants of Brobdingnag, followed by the intellectuals of Laputa and finally the rational Houyhnhnms. Although often enjoyed as a fantasy adventure, the work is also a sharp satire of politics, science, war, pride and human nature. Swift uses each strange society to expose the absurdities of his own world, creating one of the most imaginative and enduring works of eighteenth-century literature.
