Book Summary
Gulliver's Travels (1726) is Jonathan Swift's satirical novel following Lemuel Gulliver, an English ship's surgeon, across four extraordinary voyages to fantastical lands. In the first, he's shipwrecked among the tiny inhabitants of Lilliput, where he navigates the absurdities and petty politics of a miniature society. In the second, he finds himself the miniature one, dwarfed by the giants of Brobdingnag, offering a very different perspective on human nature and society.
