Gulliver's Travels

Bag om Gulliver's Travels

Gulliver's Travels is a classic novel written by Jonathan Swift in the 18th century. The book tells the story of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on four extraordinary journeys to remote and exotic lands. In the first voyage, Gulliver finds himself in Lilliput, a land inhabited by tiny people who are only six inches tall. In the second voyage, he discovers Brobdingnag, a land of giants where he is the tiny one. In the third voyage, Gulliver visits Laputa, a floating island inhabited by intellectuals who are obsessed with science and mathematics. Finally, in the fourth voyage, Gulliver travels to the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who rule over the savage Yahoos.Throughout his travels, Gulliver encounters strange and fascinating cultures, and his experiences challenge his beliefs and worldview. The novel is a satirical commentary on human nature, politics, and society, and Swift uses Gulliver's adventures to expose the flaws and follies of his contemporary world.Gulliver's Travels is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its imaginative storytelling, vivid descriptions, and sharp wit. It is a must-read for anyone interested in literature, satire, or social commentary.The moonlight, pouring its unclouded radiance over open space, failed to throw a beauty not their own on those sluggish waters. Broad and muddy, their stealthy current flowed onward to the sea, without a rock to diversify, without a bubble to break, the sullen surface.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
