Gulliver’s Travels

Gulliver’s Travels is a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift, following surgeon Lemuel Gulliver as he journeys to fantastical lands—Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms. Through Gulliver’s encounters, Swift sharply critiques the politics, society, science, and human folly of 18th-century Britain. Blending imaginative adventure with biting social commentary, the work remains a literary classic.
