Description

---

The direct and unadorned narrative describes four remarkable journeys of ship's surgeon Lemuel Gulliver including one to the land of Lilliput, where six-inch-high inhabitants bicker over trivialities; and another to Brobdingnag, a land where giants reduce man to insignificance.Written with disarming simplicity and careful attention to detail, Gulliver's Travels is diverse in its appeal: for children, it remains an enchanting fantasy. For adults, it is a witty parody of political life in Jonathan Swift's time and a scathing send-up of manners and morals in 18th-century England.
