Jonathan Swift’s Gulliver’s Travels is a timeless satire that has captivated readers since its publication in 1726. Following the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship’s surgeon, the novel takes readers on extraordinary voyages to strange lands: Lilliput, where he towers over miniature people; Brobdingnag, where giants dwarf him; Laputa, an island of impractical intellectuals; and the land of the Houyhnhnms, where noble horses rule over savage, human-like Yahoos. With its sharp wit and social critique, Gulliver’s Travels remains as thought-provoking and entertaining today as ever.
