Publisher's Synopsis
""The Travels of Lemuel Gulliver, Into Several Remote Nations of the World"" is a classic novel written by Jonathan Swift and first published in 1726. The book follows the adventures of Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who finds himself stranded in various fantastical lands populated by strange creatures and bizarre customs. In the first part of the book, Gulliver visits Lilliput, a land of tiny people who are obsessed with trivial matters, and Brobdingnag, a land of giants who are kind but also terrifyingly powerful. In the second part, he travels to Laputa, a floating island inhabited by scientists and intellectuals who are too absorbed in their own theories to pay attention to practical matters, and to the land of the Houyhnhnms, a race of intelligent horses who are disgusted by the behavior of humans. Throughout his travels, Gulliver is forced to confront his own prejudices and assumptions about the world, and the book is a satirical commentary on human nature, politics, and society. ""The Travels of Lemuel Gulliver"" is a timeless classic that continues to captivate readers with its imaginative storytelling and incisive social commentary.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
