Les Voyages de Gulliver

by Jonathan Swift

"Les Voyages de Gulliver" by Jonathan Swift is a satirical prose novel published in 1726. The story follows Lemuel Gulliver, an English traveler who journeys to extraordinary distant lands. He encounters tiny people embroiled in petty political disputes, giants who criticize European society, impractical intellectuals detached from reality, and rational horses living among savage human-like creatures. Through these adventures, Swift satirizes human nature, societal flaws, and the travellers' tales genre. Originally written as political satire for adults, it has become a beloved classic of world literature.
