About Gulliver’s Travels
Gulliver’s Travels was initially published anonymously under the title Travels into Several Remote Nations of the World, and purports to be a genuine account of one man’s journeys to remote corners of the globe. Lemuel Gulliver travels first to Liliput, whose inhabitants are just six inches tall, then to Brobdingnag, which is home to a race of giants, on to Laputa, a society made up of thinkers whose endless experiments are ultimately useless, and finally to the land of the Houyhnhnms, where human-like creatures are dismissed as stupid and bestial. The resulting narrative is both a highly entertaining parody of the travel writing genre and a biting satire of humanity’s behaviors and institutions that has lost none of its power to amuse and inspire thought.
