Gulliver’s Travels follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon whose extraordinary voyages take him to strange and fantastical worlds. In Lilliput, he encounters a nation of tiny people obsessed with politics and pride; in Brobdingnag, he finds himself among giants who view humanity from a very different perspective. His later travels to Laputa and the land of the Houyhnhnms reveal both the absurdities of human reason and the potential for moral reflection. Through wit and sharp satire, Jonathan Swift exposes the follies, corruption, and contradictions of society in one of the most enduring works of English literature.
