Gulliver’s Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World

“”Gulliver’s Travels”” is a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift that narrates the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon who embarks on several voyages to fantastical lands. His travels take him to Lilliput, where he encounters tiny people; Brobdingnag, a land of giants; Laputa, a floating island of intellectuals; and the land of the Houyhnhnms, rational horses. The novel is a critique of human nature and society, and a parody of the travelogues popular at the time. Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) was an Anglo-Irish satirist, essayist, political pamphleteer, poet, and cleric. He is best known for “”Gulliver’s Travels”” and “”A Modest Proposal,”” and is considered the foremost prose satirist in the English language. —- ISBN: 9798332706363
