Blurb
Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift is a satirical adventure novel that follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, on four fantastical voyages. In Lilliput, he encounters tiny people whose petty politics mirror human folly. In Brobdingnag, a land of giants, Gulliver himself is small and comes under scrutiny, exposing the flaws of European society. In Laputa and other islands, he meets impractical scientists and philosophers obsessed with abstract theories. Finally, in the land of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses rule while the brutish, human-like Yahoos serve them, forcing Gulliver to confront the darker side of humanity.
Through satire, Swift critiques pride, corruption, and the flaws of human nature, making the novel both a sharp political commentary and a timeless work of imaginative literature.
