"Gulliver's Travels," written by Jonathan Swift, follows the adventures of Lemuel Gulliver, a ship's surgeon who embarks on extraordinary voyages. His journey takes him to fantastical lands, including Lilliput, where he encounters tiny people, and Brobdingnag, where he meets giants. Throughout these travels, Gulliver confronts absurdities and injustices of human nature and society. Each land mirrors different aspects of humanity, offering satirical commentary on politics, war, and culture. Ultimately, Gulliver's experiences lead him to profound realizations about mankind, culminating in his troubled return to England, where he struggles to reconcile his adventures with the mundane world he left behind.
