"Gulliver's Travels" is a satirical novel by Jonathan Swift that follows Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon whose voyages take him to fantastical lands. After a shipwreck, he finds himself in Lilliput, where he encounters tiny people with their own peculiar customs. Subsequent travels lead him to Brobdingnag, a land of giants, the rational horses of Houyhnhnms, and the brutish Yahoos. Each society reflects human nature and societal flaws, provoking thought on issues like morality, politics, and human folly. Through these adventures, Swift critiques the politics and culture of his time while exploring the absurdities of human behavior. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
