About This Book

Published in 1726, Gulliver's Travels established Jonathan Swift as one of the defining voices in adventure. Lemuel Gulliver visits four fantastic lands—Lilliput, Brobdingnag, Laputa, and the land of the Houyhnhnms—in Swift's savage satire on human pride, politics, and the pretensions of Enlightenment reason. At once a rollicking adventure story and one of the most acidic attacks on human nature ever written. Themes of satire, politics, human nature run through the work. The book has received recognition from Guardian 100 Best Novels 1726.
