Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World

by Jonathan Swift

Edited by Thomas M. Balliet

"Gulliver's Travels into Several Remote Regions of the World" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical prose novel published in 1726. Ship surgeon Lemuel Gulliver journeys to extraordinary lands inhabited by bizarre civilizations: tiny Lilliputians consumed by petty disputes, enormous Brobdingnagians who mock European society, impractical intellectuals floating above reality, and rational horses living among savage human-like creatures. Through these fantastical voyages, Swift crafts a biting satire of human nature, societal flaws, and political absurdity that continues to resonate centuries later.
