Gulliver's Travels: Travels Into Several Remote Nations Of The World, In Four Parts, By Lemuel Gulliver, First A Surgeon, And Then A Captain Of Several Ships
by Jonathan SwiftAlso known as Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World. In Four Parts. By Lemuel Gulliver, First a Surgeon, and then a Captain of Several Ships, Gulliver’s Travels is a wickedly clever novel satirizing both human nature and the “travellers’ tales” literary subgenre, and was an immediate success upon publication in 1726. To this day, Gulliver’s Travels is Swift’s best-known work and one of the most popular books in the world. The novel describes the four voyages of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon. In Lilliput, he discovers a miniature world; in Brobdingnag, a land of giants; in Laputa, a flying island, he encounters a society of speculators and projectors who have lost grip on everyday reality; and in the land of the Houyhnhnms, gentle horses come in contrast to the bestial Yahoos that closely resemble humans. Swift’s savage satirical prose views humankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished, magnified, and bestial species, presenting readers with an uncompromising reflection of our existence.
