Gulliver’s Travels is an adventurous and satirical tale that takes you on a journey through strange and fantastical lands. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon, who finds himself stranded in a series of bizarre worlds. First, he encounters the tiny Lilliputians, who are obsessed with petty politics despite their small size. Then, he visits Brobdingnag, where he is a miniature among giants, giving him a new perspective on human nature. He later meets the philosophical Houyhnhnms, intelligent horses who live in a society of reason, and their brutish human-like servants, the Yahoos. Swift uses Gulliver’s absurd and entertaining adventures to cleverly critique the politics, science, and human folly of his time, but the humor and imagination keep the story light and engaging. The novel’s wit, creativity, and sharp social commentary make it not only a timeless classic but also an entertaining read that will make you think about the world in new ways.
